1 Samuel 1:24
took ... up <05927> [A.M. 2839. B.C. 1165. An. Ex. Is. 326. she took.]
three bulls <06499 07969> [three bullocks.]
The LXX., Syriac, and Arabic, read "a bullock of three years old;" which is probably correct, as we read (ver. 25) that they slew {eth happar,} "the bullock."
house <01004> [house.]
1 Samuel 2:35
raise up <06965> [I will raise.]
build <01129> [I will build.]
heart ................. chosen one <03824 04899> [mine.]
1 Samuel 4:9
strong <02388> [Be strong.]
serving ........ served <05647> [as they have.]
like ..................... like <0582 01961> [quit yourselves like men. Heb. be men.]
1 Samuel 8:6
<03415> [displeased. Heb. was evil in the eyes of.]
prayed <06419> [prayed.]
1 Samuel 15:33
sword <02719> [As thy sword.]
Samuel ..................... Samuel <08050> [Samuel.]
It has been a matter of wonder to many, how Samuel could thus slay a captive prince, even in the presence of Saul, who from motives of clemency had spared him; but it should be remarked, that what Samuel did here, he did in his magisterial capacity; and that Agag had been a cruel tyrant, and therefore was cut off for his merciless cruelties. Farther, it is not likely that he did it by his own sword, but by that of the executioner. What kings, magistrates, and generals do, in an official way, by their subjects, servants, or soldiers, they are said to do themselves:--{qui facit per alterum, facit per se.}
hacked ... to pieces <08158> [hewed.]
1 Samuel 23:11
Lord ........... Lord <03068> [And the Lord.]
1 Samuel 24:1
Saul <07586> [when Saul.]
pursuing <0310> [following. Heb. after. it was told.]
desert <04057> [the wilderness.]
1 Samuel 26:24
life ......... life <05315> [as thy life.]
deliver <05337> [let him deliver.]
1 Samuel 28:17
has ...... prophesied <01696> [to him. or, for himself.]
The LXX. read [soi,] and the Vulgate {tibi,} to thee; which is the reading of five of Dr. Kennicott's and De Rossi's MSS., as well as both the Bibles printed at Venice in 1518, where we read {lecha,} "to thee," for {lo,} "to him;" and as the words are spoken to Saul, this seems to be evidently the correct reading.
has ...... prophesied <01696> [as he spake.]
hand <03027> [me. Heb. mine hand. thy neighbour.]
