12. Formal Translation But they said, “Falsehood! Please tell us.” And he said, “Such and such he said to me, saying, ‘Thus says the LORD {Yahweh, Divine Commissioner}: I have anointed you as king over Israel.’” |
12. Dynamic Translation They insisted, “You are lying! Tell us now.” So he replied, “This is exactly what he told me: ‘This is what the LORD {Yahweh, Authority Giver} says—I have made you king over Israel.’” |
