1 tn Heb “and this to you [is] the sign which will come to both of your sons.”
2 tn Or “fulfill.”
3 tn Or perhaps, “the same day.” On this use of the demonstrative pronoun see Joüon 2:532 §143.f.
4 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Saul) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
5 tn Heb “turned his shoulder.”
6 tn Heb “God turned for him another heart”; NAB, NRSV “gave him another heart”; NIV, NCV “changed Saul’s heart”; TEV “gave Saul a new nature”; CEV “made Saul feel like a different person.”
5 tc Heb “the ark of God.” It seems unlikely that Saul would call for the ark, which was several miles away in Kiriath-jearim (see 1 Sam 7:2). The LXX and an Old Latin ms have “ephod” here, a reading which harmonizes better with v. 3 and fits better with the verb “bring near” (see 1 Sam 23:9; 30:7) and with the expression “withdraw your hand” in v.19. This reading is followed in the present translation (cf. NAB, TEV, NLT).
6 tc Heb “for the ark of God was in that day, and the sons of Israel.” The translation follows the text of some Greek manuscripts. See the previous note.
6 tc Heb “you will do [something] a third time.” The translation assumes an emendation of the verb from שִׁלַּשְׁתָּ (shillashta, “to do a third time”) to שִׁלִּישִׁית (shillishit, “[on the] third [day]”).
7 tn Heb “you must go down greatly.” See Judg 19:11 for the same idiom.
8 tn Heb “on the day of the deed.” This probably refers to the incident recorded in 19:2.
7 tn The words “about it” are not present in the Hebrew text, although they are implied.
8 tn Heb “said,” that is, to himself.
