1 Samuel 26:18-19

Context
26:18 He went on to say, “Why is my lord chasing his servant? What have I done? What wrong have I done? 1  26:19 So let my lord the king now listen to the words of his servant. If the Lord has incited you against me, may he take delight in 2  an offering. But if men have instigated this, 3  may they be cursed before the Lord! For they have driven me away this day from being united with the Lord’s inheritance, saying, ‘Go on, serve other gods!’

[26:18]  1 tn Heb “What in my hand [is] evil?”

[26:19]  2 tn Heb “may he smell.” The implication is that Saul should seek to appease God, for such divine instigation to evil would a sign of God’s disfavor. For a fuller discussion of this passage see R. B. Chisholm, Jr., “Does God Deceive?” BSac 155 (1998): 19-21.

[26:19]  3 tn Heb “but if the sons of men.”
