The author assumes that readers will know the prophet refers to the same prophet who earlier told King Ahab how to defeat the Aramean army. You could say that explicitly if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [the prophet who had spoken to Ahab earlier]

See how you translated the similar expression in [1:13](../01/13.md). Alternate translation: [Take action]

The prophet is using at the return of the year as a common expression of his culture to mean “in the spring” or “at the beginning of the new agricultural year.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [next spring]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
