ULT Those who swear by the sin of Samaria[fn]
 ⇔ and say, ‘As your god lives, Dan,’
 ⇔ and, ‘As the way to Beersheba exists’—[fn]
 ⇔ they will fall and never rise again.”


Instead of the sin of Samaria, some versions have Ashimah of Samaria. Ashimah was the name of a pagan goddess worshiped in some parts of Syria.

The Hebrew text has As the way to Beersheba exists, where this might refer to what people going to worship Beersheba’s idols might have said. However, some versions change the Hebrew text to read As the loved one of Beersheba lives. Here “loved one” stands for an idol worshiped in Beersheba.

UST Those who make oaths using the name of their shameful god of Samaria,
⇔ and those who solemnly promise to do something using the name of the god of Dan,
⇔ and those who swear using the name of the god of Beersheba—
 ⇔ they will all die;
⇔ they will never get up again.”


BSB Those who swear by the guilt of Samaria
⇔ and say, ‘As surely as your god lives, O Dan,’
 ⇔ or, ‘As surely as the way [fn] of Beersheba lives’—

8:14 Or the god

OEB  ⇔ Those who take oaths by the shameful idol of Samaria,

NET These are the ones who now take oaths in the name of the sinful idol goddess of Samaria.
 ⇔ They vow, ‘As surely as your god lives, O Dan,’ or ‘As surely as your beloved one lives, O Beer Sheba!’
 ⇔ But they will fall down and not get up again.”

LSV Those swearing by the guilt of Samaria,
And who have said, Your god lives, O Dan,
And, The way of Beer-Sheba lives,
Indeed, they have fallen and do not rise again!”

FBV Those who swear by the disgraceful idols[fn] of Samaria, who take oaths like, “By the life of your god, Dan,” or “A pilgrimage to the god of Beersheba”—they will fall, and never rise again.


8:14 “disgraceful idols”: literally, “guilt.”

T4T Those who make oaths/solemnly promise to do something► using the names of their shameful gods of Samaria,
⇔ and those who solemnly promise to do something using the name of the god of Dan,
⇔ and those who solemnly promise to do something using the name of the god of Beersheba,
 ⇔ will all die;
⇔ and they will never live again.”

LEBThese are those who swear by the guilt of Samaria and say, ‘By the life of your gods, O Dan,’ and ‘By the life of the way of Beersheba,’ they will fall and they will not rise again.”

BBE Those who make their oaths by the sin of Samaria and say, By the life of your God, O Dan; and, By the living way of Beer-sheba; even they will go down, never again to be lifted up.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

8:14 The god of Dan refers to the northern shrine of the gold calf established by Jeroboam I (see 1 Kgs 12:28-29; 2 Kgs 10:29).
• the god of Beersheba: Evidently Beersheba had become a center of worship in the southern kingdom. Archaeologists have found the remains of a horned altar in the ruins of Beersheba.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) by the sin of Samaria

(Some words not found in UHB: the,swear in/on/at/with,guilt Shomrōn and,say lives god,your Dān and,lives road/way_of בְּאֵר שָׁבַע and,fall and=not rise again/more )

Here “sin” represents the false god the people worship in Samaria. Alternate translation: “by the false god of Samaria”

(Occurrence 0) As your god lives, Dan

(Some words not found in UHB: the,swear in/on/at/with,guilt Shomrōn and,say lives god,your Dān and,lives road/way_of בְּאֵר שָׁבַע and,fall and=not rise again/more )

This is a way of making a solemn oath. The people declare that they believe the god of Dan is certainly alive to emphasize that they will certainly do what they promise to do.

(Occurrence 0) As the way to Beersheba exists

(Some words not found in UHB: the,swear in/on/at/with,guilt Shomrōn and,say lives god,your Dān and,lives road/way_of בְּאֵר שָׁבַע and,fall and=not rise again/more )

This is probably a reference to the roads that pilgrims would take to Beersheba in order to worship idols there. Again, this is a way of making a solemn oath. They state that the way to Beersheba certainly exists in order to emphasize that they will certainly do what they promise to do.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

(Occurrence 0) they will fall

(Some words not found in UHB: the,swear in/on/at/with,guilt Shomrōn and,say lives god,your Dān and,lives road/way_of בְּאֵר שָׁבַע and,fall and=not rise again/more )

This is an idiom. Alternate translation: “they will die”
