6:5

hari(TL) <03117> [Since the day.]

nama-Ku(TB/TL) <08034> [my name.]

Kupilih ..................... Kupilih(TB)/Kupilih ....................... Kupilih(TL) <0977> [neither chose.]

The judges and Saul were chosen by God, for a season, to be rulers of Israel; but not to establish a permanent and hereditary authority over that people, as was the case with David. This clause is wanting in the parallel passage of Kings; but it helps to clear the sense.
