Thanks for posting all these scriptures. I have found it very helpful. I found a copy of the Septuagint and could not find phileo or a form of the word in the following references. 1 Kings 2:19, 2 Chronicles 20:37.

thx.

2 Chronicles 20:37 – “ephileasas” used to indicate having befriended, or having allied oneself.
