TSNTyndale Study Notes:

18:10 every nation and kingdom: Ancient Near Eastern protocol called for the extradition of fugitives or runaway slaves, as noted in the famous treaty between Pharaoh Ramses II and the Hittite king Hattusilis (see ANET 200b, 203a). But Elijah had not had to seek asylum with a foreign king. God provided for his safety at Kerith Brook (17:3) and with the widow at Zarephath (17:9).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

As Yahweh your God lives

(Some words not found in UHB: he/it_lived YHWH God,your if there_is nation and,kingdom which/who not Shalah my=master/master there to,seek,you and,say not and,swear DOM the,kingdom and=DOM the,nation that/for/because/then/when not find,you )

This is an oath used to emphasize that what he is saying is true.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

there is no nation or kingdom where my master has not sent men

(Some words not found in UHB: he/it_lived YHWH God,your if there_is nation and,kingdom which/who not Shalah my=master/master there to,seek,you and,say not and,swear DOM the,kingdom and=DOM the,nation that/for/because/then/when not find,you )

Here “no nation or kingdom” is an exaggeration that means that men have traveled very far and gone to many places to find Elijah. This can be expressed positively. Alternate translation: “my master has sent men to nations and kingdoms near and far” (See also: figs-doublenegatives)
