1 Samuel 14:29

14:29 Then Jonathan said, “My father has caused trouble for the land. See how my eyes gleamed ¹  when I tasted just a little of this honey.

1 Samuel 14:6

14:6 Jonathan said to his armor bearer, “Come on, let’s go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised men. Perhaps the Lord will intervene ²  for us. Nothing can prevent the Lord from delivering, whether by many or by a few.”

1 Samuel 14:43

14:43 So Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done.” Jonathan told him, “I used the end of the staff that was in my hand to taste a little honey. I must die!” ³ 

1 Samuel 17:28

17:28 When David’s ⁴  oldest brother Eliab heard him speaking to the men, he became angry ⁵  with David and said, “Why have you come down here? To whom did you entrust those few sheep in the desert? I am familiar with your pride and deceit! ⁶  You have come down here to watch the battle!”

[14:29]  ¹ tc The LXX reads “saw.” See v. 27.

[14:6]  ² tn Heb “act.”

[14:43]  ³ tn Heb “Look, I, I will die.” Apparently Jonathan is acquiescing to his anticipated fate of death. However, the words may be taken as sarcastic (“Here I am about to die!”) or as a question, “Must I now die?” (cf. NAB, NIV, NCV, NLT).

[17:28]  ⁴ tn Heb “his”; the referent (David) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[17:28]  ⁵ tn Heb “the anger of Eliab became hot.”

[17:28]  ⁶ tn Heb “the wickedness of your heart.”
