  • Newari: “But there were also some scoundrels among them and they said, "How will this man save us?" They despised Saul and they also did not come bringing him gifts. Nevertheless, Saul still remained silent, not saying anything.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “For there-are some troublemakers who-mocked/ridiculed Saul. They said, ‘How can- this man -save us (incl.)?’ And they did- not -give Saul gifts to-honor him as king. But Saul just kept-silent.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “But some worthless men said, ‘How can this man save us from our enemies?/This man will not be able to save us from our enemies.’ They despised him, and refused to give him any gifts to show that they would be loyal to him. But Saul did not say anything to rebuke them.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
