1 Samuel 26:19
Konteks26:19 So let my lord the king now listen to the words of his servant. If the Lord has incited you against me, may he take delight in 5 an offering. But if men have instigated this, 6 may they be cursed before the Lord! For they have driven me away this day from being united with the Lord’s inheritance, saying, ‘Go on, serve other gods!’
1 Samuel 28:15
Konteks28:15 Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?” Saul replied, “I am terribly troubled! The Philistines are fighting against me and God has turned away from me. He does not answer me – not by the prophets nor by dreams. So I have called on you to tell me what I should do.”
[18:29] 1 tn Heb “of David.” In the translation the proper name has been replaced by the pronoun for stylistic reasons.
[18:29] 2 tc The final sentence of v. 29 is absent in most LXX
[18:29] tn Heb “all the days.”
[25:27] 4 tn Heb “are walking at the feet of.”
[26:19] 5 tn Heb “may he smell.” The implication is that Saul should seek to appease God, for such divine instigation to evil would a sign of God’s disfavor. For a fuller discussion of this passage see R. B. Chisholm, Jr., “Does God Deceive?” BSac 155 (1998): 19-21.
