13:11 I granted 2 you a king in my anger,
and I will take him away in my wrath!
1 tn Heb “Listen to the voice of the people, to all which they say to you.”
2 tn The prefix-conjugation verb אֶתֶּן (’eten, “I gave”) refers to past-time action, specifying a definite past event (the enthronement of Saul); therefore, this should be classified as a preterite. While imperfects are occasionally used in reference to past-time events, they depict repeated action in the past. See IBHS 502-4 §31.2 and 510-14 §31.6.
