| 7. Formal Translation But a man of God came to him and said, “O king, do not let the army of Israel go with you, for the LORD {Yahweh, Israel’s Judge} is not with Israel—namely, not with all the sons of Ephraim.” |
| 7. Dynamic Translation Then a man of God came to him and said, “Your Majesty, do not take Israel’s army with you, because the LORD {Yahweh, Covenant Enforcer} is not with Israel—not with any of the people of Ephraim.” |
