1 Kings 8:53

Context
8:53 After all, 1  you picked them out of all the nations of the earth to be your special possession, 2  just as you, O sovereign Lord, announced through your servant Moses when you brought our ancestors out of Egypt.”

1 Kings 22:22

Context
22:22 He replied, ‘I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets.’ The Lord 3  said, ‘Deceive and overpower him. 4  Go out and do as you have proposed.’

1 tn Or “For.”

2 tn Heb “your inheritance.”

3 tn Heb “he”; the referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

4 tn The Hebrew text has two imperfects connected by וְגַם (vÿgam). These verbs could be translated as specific futures, “you will deceive and also you will prevail,” in which case the Lord is assuring the spirit of success on his mission. However, in a commissioning context (note the following imperatives) such as this, it is more likely that the imperfects are injunctive, in which case one could translate, “Deceive, and also overpower.”
