Rotherham(i)
16 Then said Samuel, Wherefore, then, shouldst thou ask me,––when, Yahweh, hath turned away from thee, and hath come to be with thy neighbour?
17 Therefore hath Yahweh done for him, as he spake by me,––yea Yahweh hath rent the kingdom out of thy hand, and given it to a neighbour of thine––to David.
18 As thou didst not hearken unto the voice of Yahweh, neither didst execute the glow of his anger upon Amalek, therefore, this thing, hath Yahweh done unto thee this day;
19 that Yahweh may deliver, Israel also, with thee, into the hand of the Philistines, and, tomorrow, thou and thy sons with thee are about to fall,––the host of Israel also, will Yahweh deliver, into the hand of the Philistines.
20 Then Saul hastened, and fell prostrate––the whole length of him––to the earth, and was sore afraid, at the words of Samuel, and indeed, no, strength, was left in him, for he had not eaten food all the day and all the night.
