1 Samuel 2:16

2:16 If the individual said to him, “First let the fat be burned away, and then take for yourself whatever you wish,” he would say, “No! Hand it over right now! If you don’t, I will take it forcibly!”

1 Samuel 14:16

14:16 Saul’s watchmen at Gibeah in the territory of Benjamin looked on as the crowd of soldiers seemed to melt away first in one direction and then in another.


tc The translation follows the Qere and many medieval Hebrew mss (“no”) rather than the Kethib and MT, which read “to him.”

tn Heb “at Gibeah of Benjamin.” The words “in the territory” are supplied in the translation for clarity.

tn Heb “saw, and look!”

tn Heb “the crowd melted and went, even here.”
