Harold:
I think I see what you claim. In other words, this is a question in the form of a statement, also often done in English, in this case expecting a negative answer. If that is your interpretation, would not the best translation be, And the people said unto Samuel, Who is he who said, Saul will be king over us?? Allow us that we may cause him to die.. In this case, that the second half of the question is understood as a question in itself, is not a grammatical feature, but a stylistic use of a statement to carry the idea of a question. Is that what you mean?
Even if I understand correctly your meaning for 1 Samuel 11:12, I dont see the connection between that and Proverbs 5:16. There are other questions that you havent addressed.
