1 Samuel 20:2

Context

20:2 Jonathan 1  said to him, “By no means are you going to die! My father does nothing 2  large or small without making me aware of it. 3  Why would my father hide this matter from me? It just won’t happen!”

1 Samuel 25:25

Context
25:25 My lord should not pay attention to this wicked man Nabal. He simply lives up to his name! His name means ‘fool,’ and he is indeed foolish! 4  But I, your servant, did not see the servants my lord sent. 5 

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

2 tc The translation follows the Qere, many medieval Hebrew mss, and the ancient versions in reading “he will not do,” rather than the Kethib of the MT (“do to him”).

3 tn Heb “without uncovering my ear.”

4 tn Heb “and foolishness is with him.”

5 tn Heb “my lord’s servants, whom you sent.”
