1 Samuel 15:2

Context
15:2 Here is what the Lord of hosts says: ‘I carefully observed how the Amalekites opposed 1  Israel along the way when Israel 2  came up from Egypt.

1 Samuel 15:5

Context
15:5 Saul proceeded to the city 3  of Amalek, where he set an ambush 4  in the wadi. 5 

1 tn Heb “what Amalek did to Israel, how he placed against him.”

2 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Israel) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

3 tc The LXX has the plural here, “cities.”

4 tc The translation follows the LXX and Vulgate which assume a reading וַיָּאָרֶב (vayyaarev, “and he set an ambush,” from the root ארב [’rv] with quiescence of alef) rather than the MT, which has וַיָּרֶב (vayyareb, “and he contended,” from the root ריב [ryv]).

5 tn That is, “the dry stream bed.”
