1 Kings 20:40 -

And as thy servant was busy [Heb. doing . The LXX . περιεβλέψατο ὁ δοῦλός σου , and the Vulgate dum ego turbatus hue illucque me verterem, have led some critics to urge the substitution of פֹּגֶה turning, or שֹׁעֶה looking, for עֹשֵׂה doing, in the text. But no alteration is needed] here and there [or hither and thither— the ה is generally local —as in Joshua 8:20 . But sometimes it is merely demonstrative, "here and there," as in Genesis 21:29 , Daniel 12:5 , and so it may be understood here (Gesenius)], he was gone [Heb. he is not ]. And the king of Israel said unto him, So shall thy judgment be; thyself hast decided it. [Cf. 2 Samuel 12:5-7 , Ahab has himself pronounced that his judgment is just, and what it shall be.]
