1 Samuel 20:8

20:8 You must be loyal ¹  to your servant, for you have made a covenant with your servant in the Lord’s name. ²  If I am guilty, ³  you yourself kill me! Why bother taking me to your father?”

1 Samuel 22:22

22:22 Then David said to Abiathar, “I knew that day when Doeg the Edomite was there that he would certainly tell Saul! I am guilty ⁴  of all the deaths in your father’s house!

¹ tn Heb “and you must do loyalty.”

² tn Heb “for into a covenant of the Lord you have brought your servant with you.”

³ tn Heb “and if there is in me guilt.”

⁴ tc The translation follows the LXX, which reads “I am guilty,” rather than the MT, which has “I have turned.”
