14:45 But the army said to Saul, “Should Jonathan, who won this great victory in Israel, die? May it never be! As surely as the Lord lives, not a single hair of his head will fall to the ground! For it is with the help of God that he has acted today.” So the army rescued Jonathan from death. ¹ 

1 Samuel 22:13

1 Samuel 25:8

25:8 Ask your own servants; they can tell you! May my servants find favor in your sight, for we have come ⁴  at the time of a holiday. Please provide us – your servants ⁵  and your son David – with whatever you can spare.” ⁶ 

¹ tn Heb “and he did not die.”

² tn Heb “by giving.”

³ tn Heb “rises up against.”

³ tc The translation follows many medieval Hebrew mss in reading בָּאנוּ (ba’nu, “we have come”) rather than the MT’s בָּנוּ (banu, “we have built”).

⁴ tn This refers to the ten servants sent by David.

⁵ tn Heb “whatever your hand will find.”
