1 Kings 9:5-7

Context
9:5 Then I will allow your dynasty to rule over Israel permanently, 1  just as I promised your father David, ‘You will not fail to have a successor on the throne of Israel.’ 2 

9:6 “But if you or your sons ever turn away from me, fail to obey the regulations and rules I instructed you to keep, 3  and decide to serve and worship other gods, 4  9:7 then I will remove Israel from the land 5  I have given them, I will abandon this temple I have consecrated with my presence, 6  and Israel will be mocked and ridiculed 7  among all the nations.

1 tn Heb “I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever.”

2 tn Heb “there will not be cut off from you a man from upon the throne of Israel.”

3 tn Heb “which I placed before you.”

4 tn Heb “and walk and serve other gods and bow down to them.”

5 tn Heb “I will cut off Israel from upon the surface of the land.”

6 tn Heb “and the temple which I consecrated for my name I will send away from before my face.”

sn Instead of “I will send away,” the parallel text in 2 Chr 7:20 has “I will throw away.” The two verbs sound very similar in Hebrew, so the discrepancy is likely due to an oral transmissional error.

7 tn Heb “will become a proverb and a taunt,” that is, a proverbial example of destruction and an object of reproach.
