Hebrew & Septuagint length

In English translation the verse runs 31 words from the Hebrew and 34 from the Septuagint (LXX English) — closely comparable.

A rough comparison of the two English renderings, which tokenize alike — not a word-level alignment.

Word counts can differ between the Hebrew and the Greek without any difference in meaning — e.g. the Hebrew direct-object marker אֵת has no separate Greek word, and Greek often adds the article ὁ.

In the original languages it is 17 Hebrew tokens and 26 Greek tokens — but the two are counted differently (Hebrew bundles its prefixes and suffixes into one token; the Greek is in lemma form), so that isn’t a like-for-like length.

The Targum is the ancient Jewish Aramaic paraphrase of the Hebrew Scriptures — an interpretive translation, not the Hebrew text itself. Onkelos (literal) and Pseudo-Jonathan (expansive) render the Torah, and Jonathan the Prophets. Coverage is partial: where no permissively-licensed English translation exists for a verse, only the Aramaic is shown. This is verse-level text, not a word-by-word alignment to the Hebrew.

Commentary

Notes on 1 Kings 16:27 from classic Christian and Jewish commentators (each source and its license shown beneath its notes). The classic Christian expositions comment on the surrounding passage and are grouped to its opening verse, so a note may address several verses; the Jewish commentaries on the Tanakh (Rashi and others) are per-verse, so they appear only where the commentator wrote on this verse.

Tyndale Open Study Notes

Tyndale Open Resources

16:27-28 the extent of his power: Although mentioned only briefly in the Old Testament, Omri was well known to his contemporaries in surrounding lands. According to the Moabite Stone (Mesha Stela), Omri conquered the territory north of the Arnon River in Moab. Assyrian kings affirmed his importance by calling Israel the “House of Omri.” If, as was common in the ancient Near East, Omri arranged the marriage of his son Ahab to Jezebel (the daughter of Ethbaal, king of Tyre and Sidon, 16:31), he may have enjoyed further political and commercial recognition.

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

His might - Perhaps in the war between Israel and Syria of Damascus (1Ki 20:1, etc.), during the reign of Omri. Its issue was very disadvantageous to him 1Ki 20:34; 1Ki 22:2.

The Pulpit Commentary

Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and his might that he showed Not only in the war with Tibni, but certainly in the subjugation of the Moabites, of which mention is made in the recently discovered Moabite stone . He may well have had other wars, which, like this, have escaped notice in Scripture. If the king of Syria spoke truly, (1Ki_20:34) the war with that power had been extremely disastrous. Yet the Assyrian inscriptions prove that Omri"s name was more widely and permanently known in the East than those of his predecessors or successors. Samaria, for example, down to the time of Tiglath-Pileser, appears as Beth Khumri, the "house of Omri;" Athaliah,the daughter of Ahab, is called a daughter of Omri; and Jehu appears in the Black Obelisk Inscription as "the son of Omri" (Rawlinson, "Hist. Illus. of O.T.," pp. 111-12). It is perhaps an evidence of "his might" that his dynasty retained the throne to the third generation, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? Vers. 26, 27 are an exact repetition, mutatis mutandis, of 1Ki_13:14; cf. 15:80.

are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Israel?

This question is used to either inform or remind the readers that the information about Omri is in this other book. This rhetorical question can be translated as a statement. See how you translated this in 1 Kings 15:31. AT: "they are written in the book of the events of the kings of Israel." (See: Rhetorical Question)

are they not written ... Israel?

This can be stated in active form. AT: "someone has written about them in the book of the events of the kings of Israel." (See: Active or Passive)

Omri slept with his ancestors

The euphemism "sleeping" here represents dying. AT: "Omri died as his ancestors had" or "Like his ancestors, Omri died" (See: Metaphor and Euphemism)

became king in his place

The phrase "in his place" is a metaphor meaning "instead of him." AT: "became king instead of Omri" (See: Metaphor)
