1 Samuel 1:21

Hannah Dedicates Samuel to the Lord

1:21 This man Elkanah went up with all his family to make the yearly sacrifice to the Lord and to keep his vow,

1 Samuel 4:16

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 ¹  asked, “How did things go, my son?”

1 Samuel 20:19

20:19 On the third day ²  you should go down quickly ³  and come to the place where you hid yourself the day this all started. ⁴  Stay near the stone Ezel.

[4:16]  ¹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Eli) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[20:19]  ² tc Heb “you will do [something] a third time.” The translation assumes an emendation of the verb from שִׁלַּשְׁתָּ (shillashta, “to do a third time”) to שִׁלִּישִׁית (shillishit, “[on the] third [day]”).

[20:19]  ³ tn Heb “you must go down greatly.” See Judg 19:11 for the same idiom.

[20:19]  ⁴ tn Heb “on the day of the deed.” This probably refers to the incident recorded in 19:2.
