2 Kings 2:10
2:10 Elijah 1 replied, “That’s a difficult request! 2 If you see me taken from you, may it be so, but if you don’t, it will not happen.”
2 Kings 7:18
7:18 The prophet told the king, “Two seahs of barley will sell for a shekel, and a seah of finely milled flour for a shekel; this will happen about this time tomorrow in the gate of Samaria.”
2 Kings 22:17
22:17 This will happen because they have abandoned me and offered sacrifices 3 to other gods, angering me with all the idols they have made. 4 My anger will ignite against this place and will not be extinguished!’”
1 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Elijah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
2 tn Heb “You have made difficult [your] request.”
3 tn Or “burned incense.”
4 tn Heb “angering me with all the work of their hands.” The translation assumes that this refers to idols they have manufactured (note the preceding reference to “other gods,” as well as 19:18). However, it is possible that this is a general reference to their sinful practices, in which case one might translate, “angering me by all the things they do.”
