1 Samuel 2:32

2:32 You will see trouble in my dwelling place! ¹  Israel will experience blessings, ²  but there will not be an old man in your ³  house for all time. ⁴ 

1 Samuel 13:8

13:8 He waited for seven days, the time period indicated by Samuel. ⁵  But Samuel did not come to Gilgal, and the army began to abandon Saul. ⁶ 

[2:32]  ¹ tn Heb “you will see [the] trouble of [the] dwelling place.” Since God’s dwelling place/sanctuary is in view, the pronoun is supplied in the translation (see v. 29).

[2:32]  ² tn Heb “in all which he does good with Israel.”

[2:32]  ³ tc The LXX and a Qumran manuscript have the first person pronoun “my” here.

[2:32]  ⁴ tn Heb “all the days.”

[13:8]  ⁵ tn This apparently refers to the instructions given by Samuel in 1 Sam 10:8. If so, several years had passed. On the relationship between chs. 10 and 13, see V. P. Long, The Art of Biblical History (FCI), 201-23.

[13:8]  ⁶ tn Heb “dispersed from upon him”; NAB, NRSV “began to slip away.”
