1 Samuel 12:23

12:23 As far as I am concerned, far be it from me to sin against the Lord by ceasing to pray for you! I will instruct you in the way that is good and upright.

1 Samuel 14:33

14:33 Now it was reported to Saul, “Look, the army is sinning against the Lord by eating even the blood.” He said, “All of you have broken the covenant! ¹  Roll a large stone over here to me.”

1 Samuel 15:24

15:24 Then Saul said to Samuel, “I have sinned, for I have disobeyed what the Lord commanded ²  and what you said as well. ³  For I was afraid of the army, and I followed their wishes. ⁴ 

1 Samuel 15:30

15:30 Saul ⁵  again replied, “I have sinned. But please honor me before the elders of my people and before Israel. Go back with me so I may worship the Lord your God.”

[14:33]  ¹ tn Heb “You have acted deceptively.” In this context the verb refers to violating an agreement, in this case the dietary and sacrificial regulations of the Mosaic law. The verb form is second masculine plural; apparently Saul here addresses those who are eating the animals.

[15:24]  ¹ tn Heb “the mouth of the Lord.”

[15:24]  ² tn Heb “and your words.”

[15:24]  ³ tn Heb “and I listened to their voice.”

[15:30]  ¹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Saul) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
