- for the LORD[YHWH]:
- "So¹ doª° Godª to Abner,ª and more¹ also,²°¹ except,¹ as¹ the LORDª hath swornª° to David,ª even¹ so¹ I doª° to him;" {2Sm 3:9} + "But now¹ thy kingdomª shall not¹ continue:ª° the LORDª hath soughtª° him a manª after his own heart,ª and the LORDª hath commandedª° him [to be] captainª over¹ his people,ª because¹ thou hast not¹ keptª° [that]¹ which¹ the LORDª commandedª° thee." {1Sm 13:14} + "And Samuelª saidª° unto¹ him, The LORDª hath rentª°¹ the kingdomª of Israelª from¹¹ thee this day,ª and hath givenª° it to a neighbourª of thine, [that is] betterª than¹ thou." {1Sm 15:28} + "And the LORDª saidª° unto¹ Samuel,ª How long¹¹ wilt thou¹ mournª° for¹ Saul,ª seeing I¹ have rejectedª° him from reigningª°¹ over¹ Israel?ª fillª° thine hornª with oil,ª and go,²°¹ I will sendª° thee to¹ Jesseª the Bethlehemite:ª for¹ I have providedª° me a kingª among his sons.ª" {1Sm 16:1} + "And he sent,ª° and brought¹ him in.²° Now he¹ [was] ruddy,ª [and] withalª of a beautifulª countenance,ª and goodlyª to look to.ª And the LORDª said,ª° Arise,ª° anointª° him: for¹ this¹ [is] he.¹ ... Then Samuelª tookª°¹ the hornª of oil,ª and anointedª° him in the midstª of his brethren:ª and the Spiritª of the LORDª cameª° upon¹ Davidª from that dayª¹¹ forward.ª So Samuelª rose up,ª° and went²°¹ to Ramah.ª" {1Sm 16:12-13} + "Neverthelessªª¹ amongª the¹ chief rulersª alsoª manyª believedª° onª him;ª butª becauseª of the¹ Phariseesª they did²° notª confessª° [him], lestª they should beª° put out of the synagogue:ª ... Forª they lovedª° the¹ praiseª of menª moreª thanª the¹ praiseª of God.ª" {Jhn 12:42-43}
