New English Translation

16 “So now, take your positions and watch this great thing that the Lord is about to do in your sight.

Footnotes

  1. 1 Samuel 12:14 tn Heb “and you listen to his voice.”
  2. 1 Samuel 12:14 tn Heb “the mouth of the Lord.” So also in v. 15.
  3. 1 Samuel 12:14 tn The words “all will be well” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.
  4. 1 Samuel 12:15 tn Heb “listen to the voice of.”
  5. 1 Samuel 12:15 tc The LXX reads “your king” rather than the MT’s “your fathers.” The latter makes little sense here. Some follow MT, but translate “as it was against your fathers.” See P. K. McCarter, 1 Samuel (AB), 212.
