14. Formal Translation But now your kingdom will not endure. The LORD {Yahweh, Sovereign Judge} has sought for Himself a man after His own heart, and the LORD has appointed him to be leader over His people, because you did not keep what the LORD commanded you. |
14. Dynamic Translation Now your kingdom will not continue. The LORD has looked for a man who follows His heart and chosen him to lead His people, because you did not follow the LORD {Yahweh, Executive Ruler}’s instruction. |
