I said, Now the Philistines will come down on me at Gilgal, and I have made no prayer for help to the Lord: and so, forcing myself to do it, I made a burned offering.

δια τουτο ειπα, Τωρα θελουσι καταβη οι Φιλισταιοι εναντιον μου εις Γαλγαλα, και εγω δεν εκαμα δεησιν προς τον Κυριον· ετολμησα λοιπον, και προσεφερα το ολοκαυτωμα.

Therefore said I, The Philistines will come down now upon me to Gilgal, and I have not made supplication unto the Lord: I forced myself therefore, and offered a burnt offering.

therefore I said, ‘Now the Philistines will come down on me to Gilgal, and I haven’t entreated the favor of Yahweh.’ I forced myself therefore, and offered the burnt offering.”
