1 Kings 22:36

And there went a proclamation R.V. a cry. The word is often rendered -cry" and applied both to sorrowful and joyous utterances. Cf. Psalms 17:1; Psalms 30:5. Nowhere else is it rendered -proclamation." It indicates that word was passed round from troop to troop that some disaster made retreat necessary. The LXX. paraphrases -And the herald of the host at the setting of the sun stood and said," &c.

every man to his own country The R.V. omits -own", which has nothing to represent it in the original. The LXX. adds to the cry, -for the king is dead." But this is merely their version of the first words in 1 Kings 22:37. For they continue, -And they came to Samaria," &c.
