1 Samuel 9:13

Context
9:13 When you enter the town, you can find him before he goes up to the high place to eat. The people won’t eat until he arrives, for he must bless the sacrifice. Once that happens, those who have been invited will eat. Now go on up, for 1  this is the time when you can find him!”

Zephaniah 1:7

Context

1:7 Be silent before the Lord God, 2 

for the Lord’s day of judgment 3  is almost here. 4 

The Lord has prepared a sacrificial meal; 5 

he has ritually purified 6  his guests.

[9:13]  1 tc The MT has “him” (אֹתוֹ, ’oto) here, in addition to the “him” at the end of the verse. The ancient versions attest to only one occurrence of the pronoun, although it is possible that this is due to translation technique rather than to their having a Hebrew text with the pronoun used only once. The present translation assumes textual duplication in the MT and does not attempt to represent the pronoun twice. However, for a defense of the MT here, with the suggested translation “for him just now – you will find him,” see S. R. Driver, Notes on the Hebrew Text and the Topography of the Books of Samuel, 72-73.

[1:7]  2 tn Heb “Lord Lord.” The phrase אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה (adonai yÿhvih) is customarily rendered by Jewish tradition as “Lord God.”

[1:7]  4 tn Or “near.”

[1:7]  5 tn Heb “a sacrifice.” This same word also occurs in the following verse.
