¹tn Heb “because from the Lord I asked him.” The name “Samuel” sounds like the Hebrew verb translated “asked.” The explanation of the meaning of the name “Samuel” that is provided in v. 20 is not a strict etymology. It seems to suggest that the first part of the name is derived from the Hebrew root שׁאל (sh’l, “to ask”), but the consonants do not support this. Nor is it likely that the name comes from the root שׁמא (shm’, “to hear”), for the same reason. It more probably derives from שֶׁם (shem, “name”), so that “Samuel” means “name of God.” Verse 20 therefore does not set forth a linguistic explanation of the meaning of the name, but rather draws a parallel between similar sounds. This figure of speech is known as paronomasia.

²tn The juxtaposition of disjunctive clauses in v.16 indicates synchronic action.

³tn Heb “a kid of the goats.”

⁴tn Heb “by the hand of.”

⁵tn Heb “run.”

⁶tn Heb “and it was acceptable in the eyes of David.”

⁷tn Heb “the days were not fulfilled.”

⁸tn Heb “lifted his voice and wept.”
