1:7 When he turned around and saw me, he called out to me. I answered, ‘Here I am!’
1:8 He asked me, ‘Who are you?’ I told him, ‘I’m 1 an Amalekite.’
1 tc The present translation reads with the Qere and many medieval Hebrew mss “and I said,” rather than the Kethib which has “and he said.” See the LXX, Syriac Peshitta, and Vulgate, all of which have the first person.
