1 Samuel 26:24-25

26:24 In the same way that I valued your life this day, ²  may the Lord value my life ³  and deliver me from all danger.” 26:25 Saul replied to David, “May you be rewarded, ⁴  my son David! You will without question be successful!” ⁵  So David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place.

[1:18]  ¹ tc Several medieval Hebrew mss and the Syriac Peshitta lack the words “and got something to eat.”

[26:24]  ² tn Heb “your life was great this day in my eyes.”

[26:24]  ³ tn Heb “may my life be great in the eyes of the Lord.”

[26:25]  ⁴ tn Heb “blessed.”

[26:25]  ⁵ tn Heb “you will certainly do and also you will certainly be able.” The infinitive absolutes placed before the finite verbal forms lend emphasis to the statement.
