1 Samuel 16:1

Samuel Anoints David as King

16:1 The Lord said to Samuel, “How long do you intend to mourn for Saul? I have rejected him as king over Israel. ⁵  Fill your horn with olive oil and go! I am sending you to Jesse in Bethlehem, ⁶  for I have selected a king for myself from among his sons.” ⁷ 

Yesaya 30:6

30:6 This is a message ⁸  about the animals in the Negev:

Through a land of distress and danger,

inhabited by lionesses and roaring lions, ⁹ 

by snakes and darting adders, ¹⁰ 

they transport ¹¹  their wealth on the backs of donkeys,

their riches on the humps of camels,

to a nation that cannot help them. ¹² 

[42:26]  ¹ tn Heb “and they went from there.”

[42:2]  ² tn Heb “and buy for us from there.” The word “grain,” the direct object of “buy,” has been supplied for clarity, and the words “from there” have been omitted in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[42:2]  ³ tn Following the imperatives, the prefixed verbal form with prefixed vav expresses purpose of result.

[42:2]  ⁴ tn The imperfect tense continues the nuance of the verb before it.

[16:1]  ⁵ tc The Lucianic recension of the Old Greek translation includes the following words: “And the Lord said to Samuel.”

[16:1]  ⁷ tn Heb “for I have seen among his sons for me a king.”

[30:6]  ⁸ tn Traditionally, “burden” (so KJV, ASV); NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV “oracle.”

[30:6]  ⁹ tc Heb “[a land of] a lioness and a lion, from them.” Some emend מֵהֶם (mehem, “from them”) to מֵהֵם (mehem), an otherwise unattested Hiphil participle from הָמַם (hamam, “move noisily”). Perhaps it would be better to take the initial mem (מ) as enclitic and emend the form to הֹמֶה (homeh), a Qal active participle from הָמָה (hamah, “to make a noise”); cf. J. N. Oswalt, Isaiah (NICOT), 1:542, n. 9.

[30:6]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “flying fiery one.” See the note at 14:29.

[30:6]  ¹¹ tn Or “carry” (KJV, NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV).
