1 Samuel 17:25

17:25 The men of Israel said, “Have you seen this man who is coming up? He does so ¹  to defy Israel. But the king will make the man who can strike him down very wealthy! He will give him his daughter in marriage, and he will make his father’s house exempt from tax obligations in Israel.”

1 Samuel 22:7

22:7 Saul said to his servants who were stationed around him, “Listen up, you Benjaminites! Is Jesse’s son giving fields and vineyards to all of you? Or is he making all of you ²  commanders and officers? ³ 

1 Samuel 28:19

28:19 The Lord will hand you and Israel over to the Philistines! ⁴  Tomorrow both you and your sons will be with me. ⁵  The Lord will also hand the army ⁶  of Israel over to the Philistines!”

[17:25]  ¹ tn Heb “he is coming up.”

[22:7]  ² tc The MT has “to all of you.” If this reading is correct, we have here an example of a prepositional phrase functioning as the equivalent of a dative of advantage, which is not impossible from a grammatical point of view. However, the LXX, the Syriac Peshitta, and Vulgate all have “and.” A conjunction rather than a preposition should probably be read on the front of this phrase.

[22:7]  ³ tn Heb “officers of a thousand and officers of a hundred.”

[28:19]  ³ tn Heb “And the Lord will give also Israel along with you into the hand of the Philistines.”

[28:19]  ⁴ tc With the exception of the Lucianic recension, the LXX has here “and tomorrow you and your sons with you will fall.”

[28:19]  ⁵ tn Heb “camp.”
