⁸ Then Saul was very angry, and the saying ^(A)displeased him; and he said, “They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed only thousands. Now what more can he have but ^(B)the kingdom?”

²⁰ And now ^(A)I know indeed that you shall surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in your hand.

¹⁴ But he did not inquire of the Lord; therefore He killed him, and ^(A)turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse.
