1 Samuel 9:20

9:20 Don’t be concerned ¹  about the donkeys that you lost three days ago, for they have been found. Whom does all Israel desire? Is it not you, and all your father’s family?” ² 

1 Samuel 18:18

18:18 David said to Saul, “Who am I? Who are my relatives or the clan of my father ³  in Israel that I should become the king’s son-in-law?”

1 Samuel 22:22

22:22 Then David said to Abiathar, “I knew that day when Doeg the Edomite was there that he would certainly tell Saul! I am guilty ⁴  of all the deaths in your father’s house!

[9:20]  ¹ tn Heb “do not fix your heart.”

[9:20]  ² tn Heb “and all the house of your father.”

[18:18]  ³ tn Heb “Who are my relatives, the clan of my father?” The term חַי (khay), traditionally understood as “my life,” is here a rare word meaning “family, kinfolk” (see HALOT 309 s.v. III חַי). The phrase “clan of my father” may be a scribal gloss explaining the referent of this rare word.

[22:22]  ⁵ tc The translation follows the LXX, which reads “I am guilty,” rather than the MT, which has “I have turned.”
