1 Samuel 9:17

9:17 When Samuel saw Saul, the Lord said, ¹  “Here is the man that I told you about! He will rule over my people.”

1 Samuel 18:8

18:8 This made Saul very angry. The statement displeased him and he thought, ²  “They have attributed to David tens of thousands, but to me they have attributed only thousands. What does he lack, except the kingdom?”

[9:17]  ¹ tn Heb “responded.”

[18:8]  ² tn Heb “said.” So also in vv. 11, 17.
