| 1. Formal Translation And the LORD {Yahweh, Sovereign Chooser} said to Samuel, “How long will you mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and go; I am sending you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have seen for myself a king among his sons.” |
| 1. Dynamic Translation The LORD {Yahweh, Divine Director} said to Samuel, “How much longer will you grieve over Saul? I have removed him as king over Israel. Take your horn and fill it with oil, then set out; I am sending you to Jesse in Bethlehem, because I have chosen one of his sons to be king.” |
