1 Kings 16:2
Context16:2 “I raised you up 3 from the dust and made you ruler over my people Israel. Yet you followed in Jeroboam’s footsteps 4 and encouraged my people Israel to sin; their sins have made me angry. 5
1 tn Heb “bore him Genubath his son.”
2 tc The Hebrew text reads וַתִּגְמְלֵהוּ (vattigmÿlehu, “weaned him”) but a slight alteration of the consonantal text yields וַתִּגְדְלֵהוּ (vattigdÿlehu, “raised him”), which seems to make better sense.
3 tn The Hebrew text has “because” at the beginning of the sentence. In the Hebrew text vv. 2-3 are one sentence comprised of a causal clause giving the reason for divine punishment (v. 2) and the main clause announcing the punishment (v. 3). The translation divides this sentence for stylistic reasons.
4 tn Heb “walked in the way of Jeroboam.”
5 tn Heb “angering me by their sins.”
