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 Kings 12:20

Context
12:20 When all Israel heard that Jeroboam had returned, they summoned him to the assembly and made him king over all Israel. No one except the tribe of Judah remained loyal to the Davidic dynasty. 3 

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.”

3 tn Heb “there was no one [following] after the house of David except the tribe of Judah, it alone.”
