1 Samuel 18:25

18:25 Saul replied, “Here is what you should say to David: ‘There is nothing that the king wants as a price for the bride except a hundred Philistine foreskins, so that he can be avenged of his ¹  enemies.’” (Now Saul was thinking that he could kill David by the hand of the Philistines.)

1 Samuel 25:8

25:8 Ask your own servants; they can tell you! May my servants find favor in your sight, for we have come ²  at the time of a holiday. Please provide us – your servants ³  and your son David – with whatever you can spare.” ⁴ 

[18:25]  ¹ tn Heb “the king’s.”

[25:8]  ² tc The translation follows many medieval Hebrew mss in reading בָּאנוּ (ba’nu, “we have come”) rather than the MT’s בָּנוּ (banu, “we have built”).

[25:8]  ³ tn This refers to the ten servants sent by David.

[25:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “whatever your hand will find.”
