1 Samuel 2:17

2:17 The sin of these young men was very great in the Lord’s sight, for they ¹  treated the Lord’s offering with contempt.

1 Samuel 4:5

4:5 When the ark of the covenant of the Lord arrived at the camp, all Israel shouted so loudly ²  that the ground shook.

1 Samuel 4:10

4:10 So the Philistines fought. Israel was defeated; they all ran home. ³  The slaughter was very great; thirty thousand foot soldiers fell in battle.

1 Samuel 14:20

14:20 Saul and all the army that was with him assembled and marched into battle, where they found ⁴  the Philistines in total panic killing one another with their swords. ⁵ 

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! ⁶  Roll a large stone over here to me.”

1 Samuel 19:8

19:8 Now once again there was war. So David went out to fight the Philistines. He defeated them thoroughly ⁷  and they ran away from him.

[2:17]  ¹ tc Heb “the men,” which is absent from one medieval Hebrew ms, a Qumran ms, and the LXX.

[4:5]  ² tn Heb “shouted [with] a great shout.”

[4:10]  ³ tn Heb “and they fled, each to his tents.”

[14:20]  ⁴ tn Heb “and look, there was”

[14:20]  ⁵ tn Heb “the sword of a man against his companion, a very great panic.”

[14:33]  ⁵ 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.

[19:8]  ⁶ tn Heb “and he struck them down with a great blow.”
