3:18 Act now! For the Lord has said to David, ‘By the hand of my servant David I will save25 my people Israel from26 the Philistines and from all their enemies.’ ”
tc The present translation follows the LXX, the SyriacPeshitta, and Vulgate in reading “I will save,” rather than the MT “he saved.” The context calls for the 1st person common singular imperfect of the verb rather than the 3rd person masculine singular perfect.
