[10:1]  1 tn Heb “his”; the referent (Saul) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[10:1]  2 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Samuel) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[10:1]  3 tn Heb “Is it not that the Lord has anointed you?” The question draws attention to the fact and is a rhetorical way of affirming the Lord’s choice of Saul. The translation reflects the rhetorical force of the question.

[10:1]  4 tn That is, “anointed.”

[10:1]  5 tc The MT reads simply “Is it not that the Lord has anointed you over his inheritance for a leader?” The translation follows the LXX. The MT apparently suffers from parablepsis, whereby a scribe’s eye jumped from the first occurrence of the expression “the Lord has anointed you” to the second occurrence of this expression at the end of v. 1. This mistake caused the accidental omission of the intervening material in the LXX, which appears to preserve the original Hebrew text here.
