  2. 1 Kings 13:11 tn Heb “the man of God.” Also in vv. 12, 14.
  3. 1 Kings 13:11 tn Heb “the words which he had spoken to the king, and they told them to their father.”
  4. 1 Kings 13:12 tc The MT reads וַיִּרְאוּ (vayyirʾu, “they saw”) the Qal preterite of רָאָה (raʾah, “to see”).

Other translations (NIV, ESV, NRSV) follow some ancient versions and emend the verbal form to a Hiphil with pronominal suffix וַיַּרְאֻהוּ (vayyarʾuhu, “and they showed him”).
