1 Samuel 21:5

1 Samuel 25:31

25:31 Your conscience will not be overwhelmed with guilt ³  for having poured out innocent blood and for having taken matters into your own hands. When the Lord has granted my lord success, ⁴  please remember your servant.”

[17:40]  ¹ tn This Hebrew word occurs only here and its exact meaning is not entirely clear. It refers to a receptacle of some sort and apparently was a common part of a shepherd’s equipment. Here it serves as a depository for the stones that David will use in his sling.

[21:5]  ² tn Heb “servants’.”

[25:31]  ³ tn Heb “and this will not be for you for staggering and for stumbling of the heart of my lord.”

[25:31]  ⁴ tn Heb “and the Lord will do well for my lord.”
