1 Kings 1:52

Context
1:52 Solomon said, “If he is a loyal subject, 1  not a hair of his head will be harmed, but if he is found to be a traitor, 2  he will die.”

1 tn Heb “if he is a man of strength [or ability].” In this context, where Adonijah calls himself a “servant,” implying allegiance to the new king, the phrase אִישׁ חַיִל (’ish khayil) probably carries the sense of “a worthy man,” that is, “loyal” (see HALOT 311 s.v. חַיִל).

2 tn Heb “but if evil is found in him.”
