1 Samuel 1:9

1:9 On one occasion in Shiloh, after they had finished eating and drinking, Hannah got up. ¹  (Now at the time Eli the priest was sitting in his chair ²  by the doorpost of the Lord’s temple.)

1 Samuel 20:5

20:5 David said to Jonathan, “Tomorrow is the new moon, and I am certainly expected to join the king for a meal. ³  You must send me away so I can hide in the field until the third evening from now.

[1:9]  ¹ tc The LXX adds “and stood before the Lord,” but this is probably a textual expansion due to the terseness of the statement in the Hebrew text.

[1:9]  ² tn Or perhaps, “on his throne.” See Joüon 2:506-7 §137.f.

[20:5]  ³ tn Heb “and I must surely sit with the king to eat.” The infinitive absolute appears before the finite verb for emphasis.
