2:25 If a man sins against a man, one may appeal to God on his behalf. But if a man sins against the Lord, who then will intercede for him?” But Eli’s sons 1 would not listen to their father, for the Lord had decided 2 to kill them.
1 Samuel 14:27
14:27 But Jonathan had not heard about the oath his father had made the army take. He extended the end of his staff that was in his hand and dipped it in the honeycomb. When he ate it, 3 his eyes gleamed. 4
1 tnHeb “they”; the referent (Eli’s sons) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
2 tnHeb “desired.”
3 tnHeb “and he returned his hand to his mouth.”
4 tc The translation follows the Qere and several medieval Hebrew mss in reading “gleamed,” rather than the Kethib, “saw.”
