1 Samuel 9:15

9:15 Now the day before Saul arrived, the Lord had told ¹  Samuel:

Isaiah 5:9

5:9 The Lord who commands armies told me this: ² 

“Many houses will certainly become desolate,

large, impressive houses will have no one living in them. ³ 

Isaiah 22:14

22:14 The Lord who commands armies told me this: ⁴  “Certainly this sin will not be forgiven as long as you live,” ⁵  says the sovereign master, the Lord who commands armies.

[9:15]  ¹ tn Heb “uncovered the ear of.”

[5:9]  ² tn Heb “in my ears, the Lord who commands armies [traditionally, the Lord of hosts].”

[5:9]  ³ tn Heb “great and good [houses], without a resident.”

[22:14]  ⁴ tn Heb “it was revealed in my ears [by?] the Lord who commands armies [traditionally, the Lord of hosts].”

[22:14]  ⁵ tn Heb “Certainly this sin will not be atoned for until you die.” This does not imply that their death will bring atonement; rather it emphasizes that their sin is unpardonable. The statement has the form of an oath.
