| 28. Formal Translation And the man of God came near and spoke to the king of Israel, and said, “Thus says the LORD {Yahweh, Supreme Authority}: ‘Because Aram has said, “The LORD is the God of the mountains and not the God of the valleys,” I will deliver all this great multitude into your hand, and you will know that I am the LORD.’” |
| 28. Dynamic Translation The man of God approached the king of Israel and said, “This is what the LORD {Yahweh, Supreme Ruler} says: ‘Because the Arameans think the LORD is only the God of the hills and not the God of the valleys, I am handing over this vast army to you, and you will know that I am the LORD.’” |
