1 Samuel 28:18

28:18 Since you did not obey the Lord ⁶  and did not carry out his fierce anger against the Amalekites, the Lord has done this thing to you today.

[5:3]  ¹ tc The LXX adds “they entered the temple of Dagon and saw.”

[15:35]  ² tn That is, Samuel.

[25:33]  ³ tn Heb “blessed.”

[25:37]  ⁴ tn Heb “when the wine had gone out from Nabal.”

[25:37]  ⁵ tn Heb “and his heart died within him and he became a stone.” Cf. TEV, NLT “stroke”; CEV “heart attack.” For an alternative interpretation than that presented above, see Marjorie O’Rourke Boyle, “The Law of the Heart: The Death of a Fool (1 Samuel 25),” JBL 120 (2001): 401-27, who argues that a medical diagnosis is not necessary here. Instead, the passage makes a connection between the heart and the law; Nabal dies for his lawlessness.

[28:18]  ⁶ tn Heb “listen to the voice of the Lord.”
