1 Samuel 9:24

9:24 So the cook picked up the leg and brought it and set it in front of Saul. Samuel ³  said, “What was kept is now set before you! Eat, for it has been kept for you for this meeting time, from the time I said, ‘I have invited the people.’” So Saul ate with Samuel that day.

1 Samuel 30:12

30:12 They gave him a slice of pressed figs and two bunches of raisins to eat. This greatly refreshed him, ⁴  for he had not eaten food or drunk water for three days and three nights.

¹ tc The translation follows the Qere and many medieval Hebrew mss in reading “and they rushed greedily upon,” rather than the Kethib, “and they did.”

² tc The translation reads with the Qere and many medieval Hebrew mss הַשָּׁלָל (hashalal, “the spoil”) rather than following the Kethib reading, שָׁלָל (shalal, “spoil”).

³ tn Heb “he” (also in v. 25); the referent (Samuel) has been specified in both places in the translation for clarity.

⁵ tn Heb “his spirit returned to him.”
