2. Formal Translation In earlier days, when Saul was king over us, you were the one bringing out and bringing in Israel, and the LORD {Yahweh, Covenant Appointer} said to you, “You will shepherd my people Israel, and you will be a prince over Israel.” |
2. Dynamic Translation Back in the past, when Saul was king over us, you were the one who led Israel out and brought them back, and the LORD {Yahweh, Faithful Promiser} told you, “You will take care of my people Israel, and you will become their ruler over Israel.” |
