1 Kings 12:26

Context
12:26 Jeroboam then thought to himself: 1  “Now the Davidic dynasty could regain the kingdom. 2 

1 Kings 15:6

Context
15:6 Rehoboam 3  and Jeroboam were continually at war with each other throughout Abijah’s 4  lifetime.

1 tn Heb “said in his heart.”

2 tn Heb “Now the kingdom could return to the house of David.” The imperfect verbal form translated “could return” is understood as having a potential force here. Perhaps this is not strong enough; another option is “will return.”

3 tc Most Hebrew mss read “Rehoboam”; a few Hebrew mss and the Syriac read “Abijam” (a variant of Abijah).

4 tn Heb “his”; the referent (Abijah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
