1 Samuel 20:20

Context
20:20 I will shoot three arrows near it, as though I were shooting at a target.

1 tn Heb “sons of worthlessness.”

2 tn Heb “they did not know the Lord.” The verb here has the semantic nuance “recognize the authority of.” Eli’s sons obviously knew who the Lord was; they served in his sanctuary. But they did not recognize his moral authority.

3 tn Heb “he took him.”
