1 Kings 9:5-7
New English Translation
5 Then I will allow your dynasty to rule over Israel permanently,[a] just as I promised your father David, ‘You will not fail to have a successor on the throne of Israel.’[b]
6 “But if you or your sons ever turn away from me, fail to obey the regulations and rules I instructed you to keep,[c] and decide to serve and worship other gods,[d] 7 then I will remove Israel from the land[e] I have given them, I will abandon this temple I have consecrated with my presence,[f] and Israel will be mocked and ridiculed[g] among all the nations.

- 1 Kings 9:5 tn Heb “I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever.”
- 1 Kings 9:5 tn Heb “there will not be cut off from you a man from upon the throne of Israel.”
- 1 Kings 9:6 tn Heb “which I placed before you.”
- 1 Kings 9:6 tn Heb “and walk and serve other gods and bow down to them.”
- 1 Kings 9:7 tn Heb “I will cut off Israel from upon the surface of the land.”
- 1 Kings 9:7 tn Heb “and the temple which I consecrated for my name I will send away from before my face.”sn Instead of “I will send away,” the parallel text in 2 Chr 7:20 has “I will throw away.” The two verbs sound very similar in Hebrew, so the discrepancy is likely due to an oral transmissional error.
- 1 Kings 9:7 tn Heb “will become a proverb and a taunt,” that is, a proverbial example of destruction and an object of reproach.
