1 Samuel 15:27-28

15:27 When Samuel turned to leave, Saul ¹  grabbed the edge of his robe and it tore. 15:28 Samuel said to him, “The Lord has torn the kingdom of Israel from you this day and has given it to one of your colleagues who is better than you!

1 Samuel 24:4-5

24:4 David’s men said to him, “This is the day about which the Lord said to you, ‘I will give your enemy into your hand, and you can do to him whatever seems appropriate to you.’” ²  So David got up and quietly cut off an edge of Saul’s robe. 24:5 Afterward David’s conscience bothered him ³  because he had cut off an edge of Saul’s robe.

[15:27]  ¹ tn Heb “he,” but Saul is clearly the referent. A Qumran ms and the LXX include the name “Saul” here.

[24:4]  ² tn Heb “is good in your eyes.”

[24:5]  ³ tn Heb “the heart of David struck him.”
