20:32 Jonathan responded to his father Saul, “Why should he be put to death? What has he done?” 20:33 Then Saul threw his spear at Jonathan ¹  in order to strike him down. So Jonathan was convinced ²  that his father had decided to kill David.

1 Samuel 20:2

Kisah Para Rasul 5:13-14

[20:33]  ¹ tn Heb “him”; the referent (Jonathan) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[20:33]  ² tn Heb “knew.”

[20:2]  ³ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Jonathan) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[20:2]  ⁴ tc The translation follows the Qere, many medieval Hebrew mss, and the ancient versions in reading “he will not do,” rather than the Kethib of the MT (“do to him”).

[20:2]  ⁵ tn Heb “without uncovering my ear.”

[5:13]  ⁶ tn Or “to associate with them.” The group was beginning to have a controversial separate identity. People were cautious about joining them. The next verse suggests that the phrase “none of the rest” in this verse is rhetorical hyperbole.

[5:13]  ⁷ tn Or “the people thought very highly of them.”

[5:14]  ⁸ tn Or “More and more believers were added to the Lord.”
