16:11 Then Samuel said to Jesse, “Is that all of the young men?” Jesse ⁹  replied, “There is still the youngest one, but he’s taking care of the flock.” Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and get him, for we cannot turn our attention to other things until he comes here.”

¹ tn Heb “the hand of the Lord was against the city.”

² tn Heb “and he struck the men of the city from small and to great.”

⁴ tn Heb “to me.”

⁵ tn Heb “my.”

⁷ tn Heb “and look.”

⁸ tn Heb “and he turned and crossed over.”

⁹ tc At the end of v. 12 the LXX and one Old Latin ms include the following words not found in the MT: “to Saul. And behold, he was offering as a burnt offering to the Lord the best of the spoils that he had brought from the Amalekites.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Jesse) has been specified in the translation both here and in v. 12 for clarity.

¹³ tc The translation follows the LXX, which reads “I am guilty,” rather than the MT, which has “I have turned.”
