1 Samuel 22:8

22:8 For all of you have conspired against me! No one informs me ¹  when my own son makes an agreement with this son of Jesse! Not one of you feels sorry for me or informs me that my own son has commissioned my own servant to hide in ambush against me, as is the case today!”

1 Samuel 20:2

20:2 Jonathan ²  said to him, “By no means are you going to die! My father does nothing ³  large or small without making me aware of it. ⁴  Why would my father hide this matter from me? It just won’t happen!”

1 Samuel 22:17

22:17 Then the king said to the messengers ⁵  who were stationed beside him, “Turn and kill the priests of the Lord, for they too have sided ⁶  with David! They knew he was fleeing, but they did not inform me.” But the king’s servants refused to harm ⁷  the priests of the Lord.

[22:8]  ¹ tn Heb “uncovers my ear.”

[20:2]  ² tn Heb “he”; the referent (Jonathan) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[20:2]  ³ tc The translation follows the Qere, many medieval Hebrew mss, and the ancient versions in reading “he will not do,” rather than the Kethib of the MT (“do to him”).

[20:2]  ⁴ tn Heb “without uncovering my ear.”

[22:17]  ³ tn Heb “runners.”

[22:17]  ⁴ tn Heb “their hand is.”

[22:17]  ⁵ tn Heb “to extend their hand to harm.”
