1 Samuel 3:11

3:11 The Lord said to Samuel, “Look! I am about to do something in Israel; ¹  when anyone hears about it, both of his ears will tingle.

1 Samuel 4:16-18

4:16 The man said to Eli, “I am the one who came from the battle lines! Just today I fled from the battle lines!” Eli ²  asked, “How did things go, my son?” 4:17 The messenger replied, “Israel has fled from ³  the Philistines! The army has suffered a great defeat! Your two sons, Hophni and Phineas, are dead! The ark of God has been captured!”

4:18 When he mentioned the ark of God, Eli ⁴  fell backward from his chair beside the gate. He broke his neck and died, for he ⁵  was old and heavy. He had judged Israel for forty years.

1 Samuel 4:2

4:2 The Philistines arranged their forces to fight ⁶  Israel. As the battle spread out, ⁷  Israel was defeated by ⁸  the Philistines, who ⁹  killed about four thousand men in the battle line in the field.

Kisah Para Rasul 21:12-13

21:12 When we heard this, both we and the local people ¹⁰  begged him not to go up to Jerusalem. 21:13 Then Paul replied, “What are you doing, weeping and breaking ¹¹  my heart? For I am ready not only to be tied up, ¹²  but even to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”

Yesaya 28:19

28:19 Whenever it sweeps by, it will overtake you;

indeed, ¹³  every morning it will sweep by,

it will come through during the day and the night.” ¹⁴ 

When this announcement is understood,

it will cause nothing but terror.

[3:11]  ¹ tn The Hebrew text adds “so that” here, formally connecting this clause with the next.

[4:16]  ² tn Heb “he”; the referent (Eli) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[4:17]  ³ tn Heb “before.”

[4:18]  ⁴ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Eli) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[4:18]  ⁵ tn Heb “the man.”

[4:2]  ⁶ tn Heb “to meet.”

[4:2]  ⁷ tn The MT has וַתִּטֹּשׁ (vattittosh), from the root נטשׁ (ntsh). This verb normally means “to leave,” “to forsake,” or “to permit,” but such an idea does not fit this context very well. Many scholars have suspected that the text originally read either וַתֵּט (vattet, “and it spread out”), from the root נטה (nth), or וַתִּקֶשׁ (vattiqesh, “and it grew fierce”), from the root קשׂה (qsh). The former suggestion is apparently supported by the LXX ἔκλινεν (eklinen, “it inclined”) and is adopted in the translation.

[4:2]  ⁸ tn Heb “before.”

[4:2]  ⁹ tn Heb “the Philistines, and they killed.” The pronoun “they” has been translated as a relative pronoun (“who”) to make it clear to the English reader that the Philistines were the ones who did the killing.

[21:12]  ¹⁰ tn Or “the people there.”

[21:13]  ¹¹ tn The term translated “breaking” as used by Josephus (Ant. 10.10.4 [10.207]) means to break something into pieces, but in its only NT use (it is a hapax legomenon) it is used figuratively (BDAG 972 s.v. συνθρύπτω).

[21:13]  ¹² tn L&N 18.13 has “to tie objects together – ‘to tie, to tie together, to tie up.’” The verb δέω (dew) is sometimes figurative for imprisonment (L&N 37.114), but it is preferable to translate it literally here in light of v. 11 where Agabus tied himself up with Paul’s belt.

[28:19]  ¹³ tn Or “for” (KJV, ASV, NASB, NRSV).

[28:19]  ¹⁴ tn The words “it will come through” are supplied in the translation. The verb “will sweep by” does double duty in the parallel structure.
