1 Kings 8:43

Context
8:43 Then listen from your heavenly dwelling place and answer all the prayers of the foreigners. 1  Then all the nations of the earth will acknowledge your reputation, 2  obey 3  you like your people Israel do, and recognize that this temple I built belongs to you. 4 

1 Kings 12:16

Context

12:16 When all Israel saw that the king refused to listen to them, the people answered the king, “We have no portion in David, no share in the son of Jesse! 5  Return to your homes, O Israel! 6  Now, look after your own dynasty, O David!” 7  So Israel returned to their homes. 8 

1 tn Heb “and do all which the foreigner calls to [i.e., “requests of”] you.”

2 tn Heb “your name.” See the note on the word “reputation” in v. 41.

3 tn Heb “fear.”

4 tn Heb “that your name is called over this house which I built.” The Hebrew idiom “to call the name over” indicates ownership. See 2 Sam 12:28.

5 sn We have no portion in David; no share in the son of Jesse. Their point seems to be that they have no familial relationship with David that brings them any benefits or places upon them any obligations. They are being treated like outsiders.

6 tn Heb “to your tents, Israel.” The word “return” is supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

7 tn Heb “Now see your house, David.”

8 tn Heb “went to their tents.”
