1 Samuel 1:15

1:15 But Hannah replied, “That’s not the way it is, 1  my lord! I am under a great deal of stress. 2  I have drunk neither wine nor beer. Rather, I have poured out my soul to 3  the Lord.

1 Samuel 14:28

14:28 Then someone from the army informed him, “Your father put the army under a strict oath 4  saying, ‘Cursed be the man who eats food today!’ That is why the army is tired.”

1 tn Heb “No.”

2 tn Heb “I am a woman difficult of spirit.” The LXX has “for whom the day is difficult,” apparently mistaking the Hebrew word for “spirit” רוּחַ (ruakh) to be the word for “day” יוֹם (yom).

3 tn Heb “before.”

4 tn Heb “your father surely put the army under an oath.” The infinitive absolute is used before the finite verb to emphasize the solemn nature of the oath.
