Konteks2:30 Therefore the Lord, the God of Israel, says, ‘I really did say 1 that your house and your ancestor’s house would serve 2 me forever.’ But now the Lord says, ‘May it never be! 3 For I will honor those who honor me, but those who despise me will be cursed!
1 Samuel 8:11
Konteks8:11 He said, “Here are the policies of the king who will rule over you: He will conscript your sons and put them in his chariot forces and in his cavalry; they will run in front of his chariot.
1 Samuel 10:18
Konteks10:18 He said to the Israelites, “This is what the Lord God of Israel says, ‘I brought Israel up from Egypt and I delivered you from the power 4 of the Egyptians and from the power of all the kingdoms that oppressed you.
1 Samuel 12:17
Konteks12:17 Is this not the time of the wheat harvest? I will call on the Lord so that he makes it thunder and rain. Realize and see what a great sin you have committed before the Lord by asking for a king for yourselves.”
1 Samuel 13:14
Konteks13:14 But now your kingdom will not continue! The Lord has sought out 5 for himself a man who is loyal to him 6 and the Lord has appointed 7 him to be leader over his people, for you have not obeyed what the Lord commanded you.”
[2:30] 1 tn The infinitive absolute appears before the finite verb for emphasis.
[2:30] 2 tn Heb “walk about before.”
[2:30] 3 tn Heb “may it be far removed from me.”
[10:18] 4 tn Heb “hand” (also later in this verse).
[13:14] 5 tn This verb form, as well as the one that follows (“appointed”), indicates completed action from the standpoint of the speaker. This does not necessarily mean that the Lord had already conducted his search and made his choice, however. The forms may be used for rhetorical effect to emphasize the certainty of the action. The divine search for a new king is as good as done, emphasizing that the days of Saul’s dynasty are numbered.
[13:14] 6 tn Heb “according to his heart.” The idiomatic expression means to be like-minded with another, as its use in 1 Sam 14:7 indicates.
