1 Samuel 2:16

2:16 If the individual said to him, “First let the fat be burned away, and then take for yourself whatever you wish,” he would say, “No! ¹  Hand it over right now! If you don’t, I will take it forcibly!”

1 Samuel 20:31

20:31 For as long as ²  this son of Jesse is alive on the earth, you and your kingdom will not be established. Now, send some men ³  and bring him to me. For he is as good as dead!” ⁴ 

[2:16]  ¹ tc The translation follows the Qere and many medieval Hebrew mss (“no”) rather than the Kethib and MT, which read “to him.”

[20:31]  ² tn Heb “all the days that.”

[20:31]  ³ tn The words “some men” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[20:31]  ⁴ tn Heb “a son of death.”
