1 Samuel 20:12
O Lord God — Do thou hear and judge between us. It is an abrupt speech which is usual in great passions. |
- O LORD[YHWH]:
- This verse is evidently deficient. The LXX have Κυριος ο Θεος Ισραηλ οιδεν, "The Lord God of Israel doth know;" the Syraic and Arabic, "The Lord God of Israel is witness;" either of which makes good sense. But two of Dr. Kennicott's manuscripts supply the word chai, "liveth;" and the text reads thus: "As the Lord God of Israel liveth, when I have sounded my father - if there be good unto David, and I then send not unto thee," etc.; which is a still better sense.
Joshua 22:22 The LORD God of gods, the LORD God of gods, he knoweth, and Israel he shall know; if [it be] in rebellion, or if in transgression against the LORD, (save us not this day,)
Job 31:4 Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps?
Psalms 17:3 Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited [me] in the night; thou hast tried me, [and] shalt find nothing; I am purposed [that] my mouth shall not transgress.
Psalms 139:1-4 [[To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.]] O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known [me]. ... For [there is] not a word in my tongue, [but], lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
|
- sounded:
- Heb. searched,
Proverbs 20:5 Counsel in the heart of man [is like] deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.
Proverbs 25:2-3 [It is] the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings [is] to search out a matter. ... The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings [is] unsearchable.
|
- show it thee:
- Heb. uncover thine ear,
1 Samuel 20:2 And he said unto him, God forbid; thou shalt not die: behold, my father will do nothing either great or small, but that he will shew it me: and why should my father hide this thing from me? it [is] not [so].
