1 Samuel 10:18

1 Samuel 15:6

15:6 Saul said to the Kenites, “Go on and leave! Go down from among the Amalekites! Otherwise I will sweep you away ⁵  with them! After all, you were kind to all the Israelites when they came up from Egypt.” So the Kenites withdrew from among the Amalekites.

¹ tn Heb “what Amalek did to Israel, how he placed against him.”

² tn Heb “he”; the referent (Israel) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

³ tn Heb “according to all the deeds which they have done.”

⁵ tn Heb “hand” (also later in this verse).

⁷ tc The translation follows the Syriac Peshitta and Vulgate which assume a reading אֶסִפְךָ (’esfÿka, “I sweep you away,” from the root ספה [sfh]) rather than the MT אֹסִפְךָ (’osifÿka, “I am gathering you,” from the root אסף[’sf]).
