New English Translation

²⁷But some wicked men^[a] said, “How can this man save us?” They despised him and did not even bring him a gift. But Saul said nothing about it.^[b]

1 Samuel 10:27 tn Heb “sons of worthlessness” (see 2:12).
1 Samuel 10:27 tc In place of the MT (“and it was like one being silent”) the LXX has “after about a month,” taking the expression with the first part of the following chapter rather than with 10:27. Some Hebrew support for this reading appears in the corrected hand of a Qumran ms of Samuel, which has here “about a month.” However, it seems best to stay with the MT here even though it is difficult.
