Kings and Chronicles References ("We three kings ... ") #107

It would be helpful to have someone check all the references to 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 3 Kings, and 4 Kings. The following shows how book names map from the LXX into the book names we know in the English-speaking world:

LXX 1 Kings => English 1 Samuel
LXX 2 Kings => English 2 Samuel
LXX 3 Kings => English 1 Kings
LXX 4 Kings => English 2 Kings

Spot checking, many of these have been correctly linked. Someone "corrected" a reference from III Kings to II Kings. III Kings is the LXX way to say 1 Kings. This is now correct, I believe:

<entry n="Ἀβιά|G7">
  <note type="occurrencesNT">3</note>
  <form><orth>Ἀβιά</orth> (Heb. <foreign xml:lang="heb" n="H29">אֲבִיָּה</foreign>, <foreign xml:lang="heb" n="H29">אֲבִיָּהוּ</foreign>), <foreign xml:lang="grc">ὁ</foreign>, indecl. (in FlJ, <foreign xml:lang="grc">Ἀβίας, -α</foreign>), </form>
  <sense><gloss>Abia, Abijah</gloss>.
    <sense n="1.">Son of Rehoboam (<ref osisRef="1Kgs.14.1">III Ki 14:1</ref>): <ref osisRef="Matt.1.7">Mt 1:7</ref>. </sense>
    <sense n="2.">A priest of the line of Eleazar (<ref osisRef="1Chr.24.3">I Ch 24:3</ref>, <ref osisRef="1Chr.24.10">10</ref>): <ref osisRef="Luke.1.5">Lk 1:5</ref>.†</sense>
  </sense>
</entry>

Some entries have been fixed correctly, here's an example where I Kings is correctly mapped onto 2 Samuel:

<entry n="ἀήρ|G109">
 <note type="occurrencesNT">7</note>
 <form><orth>ἀήρ</orth>, <foreign xml:lang="grc">ἀέρος, ὁ</foreign>, </form>
<etym>
  <seg type="septuagint">[in LXX: <ref osisRef="2Sam.22.12">II Ki 22:12</ref> (= <ref osisRef="Ps.18.11">Ps 17 (18):11</ref> <foreign xml:lang="heb" n="H7833">שׁחק</foreign>), Wi<hi rend="subscript">8</hi>;]</seg>
</etym>

</entry>

Thanks, Dave! I'll see about making these changes in my repo and publishing a pull request. Unless you prefer to do that?

I think I have opened a can of worms. With a view to reviewing references more systematically, I created mappings both ways between the Abbott-Smith abbreviations and the OSIS ID abbreviations, and the first thing I did was to look for transcribed references that didn't match the A-S abbreviations, which means either we transcribed incorrectly or the original Abbott-Smith was inconsistent. Here are the results:

(venv3) cbearden@melanchthon:~/projects/Abbott-Smith-mine/scratch$ python refs.py | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr
    131 I Jn
     21 Mac
     10 Jn
      4 Ha
      3 Phi
      2 Luke
      1 Su
      1 Lu
      1 Isa
      1 II Tim
      1 II Jn
      1 Heb
      1 Gal
      1 Act

The great majority are 1 Jn, which should be 1 Jo. But until these are corrected, a comparison between the OSIS book abbrev & the A-S book abbrev will not give reliable results. I think this will belong an a new issue, since it goes beyond the scope of I-IV Kings.

Hi Dave,

You go ahead and do the mods and pr.

Will do.

As for the abbreviations of the book names I used for checking, I have attached the mapping that I constructed in YAML syntax. The AS_to_OSIS mapping is from the Abbott-Smith abbreviations as specified on p. xii of the lexicon. I took the OSIS abbreviations from Appendix C of the OSIS 2.1 User Manual which can be found here. The OSIS_to_AS maps the OSIS abbreviations back to the Abbott-Smith ones. Just in case those are useful to you.

All the best,
Chuck
