1 Samuel 15:16

15:16 Then Samuel said to Saul, “Wait a minute! ³  Let me tell you what the Lord said to me last night.” Saul ⁴  said to him, “Tell me.”

[12:7]  ¹ tn Heb “and I will enter into judgment with you” (NRSV similar); NAB “and I shall arraign you.”

[12:7]  ² tn Heb “all the just actions which he has done with you and with your fathers.”

[15:16]  ³ tn Or perhaps “be quiet.”

[15:16]  ⁴ tc The translation follows the Qere and many medieval Hebrew mss in reading the singular (“he said”) rather than the plural (“they said”) of the Kethib.

[15:16]  tn Heb “he”; the referent (Saul) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
