- Hiligaynon: “So he asked the LORD, but the LORD did- not -answer him even through dreams, prophets, or through the thing which is-used to-find-out/[lit. -know] the will of the LORD.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “He prayed to Yahweh, but Yahweh did not answer him. Yahweh did not tell Saul what he should do by giving him a dream, or by having the priest throw the marked stones that were in his sacred vest, or by giving a message about Saul to any prophet.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
