1 Samuel 8:8

8:8 Just as they have done ¹  from the day that I brought them up from Egypt until this very day, they have rejected me and have served other gods. This is what they are also doing to you.

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 29:8

29:8 But David said to Achish, “What have I done? What have you found in your servant from the day that I first came into your presence until the present time, that I shouldn’t go and fight the enemies of my lord the king?”

[8:8]  ¹ tn Heb “according to all the deeds which they have done.”

[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.”
