1 Kings 11:24-26
New English Translation

24 He gathered some men and organized a raiding band.[a] When David tried to kill them,[b] they went to Damascus, where they settled down and gained control of the city. 25 He was Israel’s enemy throughout Solomon’s reign and, like Hadad, caused trouble. He loathed[c] Israel and ruled over Syria.

26 Jeroboam son of Nebat, one of Solomon’s servants, rebelled against[d] the king. He was an Ephraimite[e] from Zeredah whose mother was a widow named Zeruah.

Footnotes

  1. 1 Kings 11:24 tn Heb “and he was the officer of a raiding band.”
  2. 1 Kings 11:24 tn The Hebrew text reads “when David killed them.” This phrase is traditionally joined with what precedes. The ancient Greek version does not reflect the phrase and some suggest that it has been misplaced from the end of v. 23.
  3. 1 Kings 11:25 tn The construction (Qal of קוּץ + בְּ [quts + bet] preposition) is rare, but not without parallel (see Lev 20:23).
  4. 1 Kings 11:26 tn Heb “raised a hand against.”
  5. 1 Kings 11:26 tn Heb “Ephrathite,” which here refers to an Ephraimite (see HALOT 81 s.v. אֶפְרַיִם).
