12:15 But if you don’t obey 1 the Lord and rebel against what the Lord says, the hand of the Lord will be against both you and your king. 2
1 tnHeb “listen to the voice of.”
2 tc The LXX reads “your king” rather than the MT’s “your fathers.” The latter makes little sense here. Some follow MT, but translate “as it was against your fathers.” See P. K. McCarter, 1 Samuel (AB), 212.
