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 ¹  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 Samuel 20:8

20:8 You must be loyal ²  to your servant, for you have made a covenant with your servant in the Lord’s name. ³  If I am guilty, ⁴  you yourself kill me! Why bother taking me to your father?”

¹ 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]).

² tn Heb “and you must do loyalty.”

³ tn Heb “for into a covenant of the Lord you have brought your servant with you.”

⁴ tn Heb “and if there is in me guilt.”
