The capital follows the referent rule with the narrator's v 25 identification (KJV and NJPS also capitalize); the ASV lower-case perspective reading is in commentary.","F-law-vs-torah":"Keep 'law' in Kings (Deuteronomistic written law, 2 Kgs 17:37 'which he wrote'; consensus). Decide exodus-woh's 'torah' (Ex 13:9; 16:4) at the next Exodus/Deuteronomy pass with a central entry; the two renderings can coexist by register if that entry says so.","G-exalted-house":"Ratify 'an exalted house' (post-Ugaritic consensus; RSV/NRSV). Lens-neutral; the divergence from the KJV wording quoted in TBWTT is a quotation matter, not a translation one, and the reception note records it.","H-crouched":"Ratify 'crouched' at all three gāhar sites (lexical sense; concordance with signed-off 1 Kgs 18:42; no interpretive content, and it does not lean toward or against the canon's resuscitation reading).","I-mercy-and-kindness":"Keep both. 8:50 'mercy' is the exact Gen 43:14 idiom with genesis-woh's 'mercy'; 8:23 'kindness' applies the central solitary-ḥeseḏ entry as at 1 Kgs 2:7. 'keeping the covenant and the kindness' is stiffer than 'steadfast love', but the commentary gives that sense.","J-Shomronites":"Ratify 'the Shomronites' (hapax gentilic meaning the Israelite inhabitants of Shomron; 'Samaritans' is anachronistic; the -ite rule matches 'the Avvites', 'the Sefarvites' and the ASV's own gentilic forms).","B-shamayim":"No decision needed: the 12 'heavens' sites in 1 Kgs 8, 'skies' at 8:35 and 17:16 'host of the heavens' all apply the ratified wave-A rule correctly."},"summary":"38 verdicts: 36 approve, 2 revise, 0 flag-for-human (6:1 revise; 6:20 revise).
