1 tn Heb “answered and said to the officer of fifty.”
2 tn Wordplay contributes to the irony here. The king tells Elijah to “come down” (Hebrew יָרַד, yarad), but Elijah calls fire down (יָרַד) on the arrogant king’s officer.

4 tn Or “intense fire.” The divine name may be used idiomatically to emphasize the intensity of the fire. Whether one translates אֱלֹהִים (’elohim) here as a proper name or idiomatically, this addition to the narrative (the name is omitted in the first panel, v. 10b) emphasizes the severity of the judgment and is appropriate given the more intense command delivered by the king to the prophet in this panel.
5 tn Heb “the sons of the prophets.”
6 tn Heb “from your head.” The same expression occurs in v. 5.
7 tn Heb “see.”
8 tn Heb “man of God” (also in vv. 15, 20).
9 tn Heb “Let him come.”

12 tn Heb “the rider of the horse.”
13 tn Heb “Is there peace?”
14 tn Heb “What concerning you and concerning peace?” That is, “What concern is that to you?”
15 tn Heb “and he came to them.”
16 tc The MT has simply “peace,” omitting the prefixed interrogative particle. It is likely that the particle has been accidentally omitted; several ancient witnesses include it or assume its presence.
17 tn Heb “How [can there be] peace as long as the adulterous acts of Jezebel your mother and her many acts of sorcery [continue]?” In this instance “adulterous acts” is employed metaphorically for idolatry. As elsewhere in the OT, worshiping other gods is viewed as spiritual adultery and unfaithfulness to the one true God. The phrase “many acts of sorcery” could be taken literally, for Jezebel undoubtedly utilized pagan divination practices, but the phrase may be metaphorical, pointing to her devotion to pagan customs in general.
18 tn Heb “the one who was over the house.”
19 tn Heb “the one who was over the city.”
20 tn Or “elders.”
21 tn Heb “servants.”
22 tn Heb “Do what is good in your eyes.”

24 tn Heb “Because you have done well by doing what is proper in my eyes – according to all which was in my heart you have done to the house of Ahab – sons of four generations will sit for you on the throne of Israel.” In the Hebrew text the Lord’s statement is one long sentence (with a parenthesis). The translation above divides it into shorter sentences for stylistic reasons.

27 tn Heb “will not be given.”
28 tn Heb “for my sake and for the sake of David my servant.”
