28:17 The Lord has done exactly as I prophesied! ³  The Lord has torn the kingdom from your hand and has given it to your neighbor David!

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

[4:12]  ² tn Or perhaps, “the same day.” On this use of the demonstrative pronoun see Joüon 2:532 §143.f.

[28:17]  ³ tn Heb “just as he said by my hand.”
