1 Samuel 16:16

Context
16:16 Let our lord instruct his servants who are here before you to look for a man who knows how to play the lyre. Then whenever the evil spirit from God comes upon you, he can play the lyre 1  and you will feel better.” 2 

1 Samuel 20:12

Context
20:12 Jonathan said to David, “The Lord God of Israel is my witness. 3  I will feel out my father about this time the day after tomorrow. If he is favorably inclined toward David, will I not then send word to you and let you know? 4 

1 tn Heb “and he will play with his hand.”

2 tn Heb “and it will be better for you.”

3 tc The Hebrew text has simply “the Lord God of Israel.” On the basis of the Syriac version, many reconstruct the text to read “[is] my witness,” which may have fallen out of the text by homoioarcton (an error which is entirely possible if עֵד, ’ed, “witness,” immediately followed ַָדוִד, “David,” in the original text).

4 tn Heb “and uncover your ear.”
