1 Samuel 8:7

8:7 The Lord said to Samuel, “Do everything the people request of you. ¹  For it is not you that they have rejected, but it is me that they have rejected as their king.

1 Samuel 10:19

10:19 But today you have rejected your God who saves you from all your trouble and distress. You have said, “No! ²  Appoint a king over us.” Now take your positions before the Lord by your tribes and by your clans.’”

John 12:48

12:48 The one who rejects me and does not accept ³  my words has a judge; ⁴  the word ⁵  I have spoken will judge him at the last day.

[8:7]  ¹ tn Heb “Listen to the voice of the people, to all which they say to you.”

[10:19]  ² tc The translation follows many medieval Hebrew mss, the LXX, the Syriac Peshitta, and Vulgate in reading לֹא (lo’, “not”) rather than the MT לוֹ (lo; “to him”). Some witnesses combine the variants, resulting in a conflated text. For example, a few medieval Hebrew mss have לֹא לוֹ (lo lo’; “to him, ‘No.’”). A few others have לֹא לִי (li lo’; “to me, ‘No.’”).

[12:48]  ³ tn Or “does not receive.”
