1 Samuel 11:14

11:14 Samuel said to the people, “Come on! Let’s go to Gilgal and renew the kingship there.”

1 Samuel 18:8

18:8 This made Saul very angry. The statement displeased him and he thought, ¹  “They have attributed to David tens of thousands, but to me they have attributed only thousands. What does he lack, except the kingdom?”

1 Samuel 10:16

10:16 Saul said to his uncle, “He assured us that the donkeys had been found.” But Saul ²  did not tell him what Samuel had said about the matter of kingship.

1 Samuel 10:25

10:25 Then Samuel talked to the people about how the kingship would work. ³  He wrote it all down on a scroll and set it before the Lord. Then Samuel sent all the people away to their homes.

1 Samuel 14:47

14:47 After Saul had secured his royal position over Israel, he fought against all their ⁴  enemies on all sides – the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, the kings of Zobah, and the Philistines. In every direction that he turned he was victorious. ⁵ 

[18:8]  ¹ tn Heb “said.” So also in vv. 11, 17.

[10:16]  ¹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Saul) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[10:25]  ¹ tn Heb “the regulation of the kingship.” This probably refers to the regulations pertaining to kingship given to Moses (see Deut 17:14-20).

[14:47]  ¹ tn Heb “his,” which could refer to Israel or to Saul.

[14:47]  ² tc The translation follows the LXX (“he was delivered”), rather than the MT, which reads, “he acted wickedly.”
