14 ^jBut now your kingdom shall not continue. The Lord has sought out a man after his own heart, and ^kthe Lord has commanded him to be prince¹ over his people, because you have not kept what the Lord commanded you.”

17 And he said to him, “Do not fear, for the hand of Saul my father shall not find you. You shall be king over Israel, and I shall be next to you. ⁱSaul my father also knows this.”

20 And now, behold, ^sI know that you shall surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in your hand.
