1 Samuel 17:20
Context17:20 So David got up early in the morning and entrusted the flock to someone else who would watch over it. 1 After loading up, he went just as Jesse had instructed him. He arrived at the camp 2 as the army was going out to the battle lines shouting its battle cry.
1 Samuel 25:29
Context25:29 When someone sets out to chase you and to take your life, the life of my lord will be wrapped securely in the bag 3 of the living by the Lord your God. But he will sling away the lives of your enemies from the sling’s pocket!
1 tn Heb “to a guard”; KJV, NASB, NRSV “with a keeper”; NIV “with a shepherd.” Since in contemporary English “guard” sounds like someone at a military installation or a prison, the present translation uses “to someone else who would watch over it.”
2 tn Or “entrenchment.”
3 tn Cf. KJV, NAB, NIV, NRSV “bundle”; NLT “treasure pouch.”
