14:20 Saul and all the army that was with him assembled and marched into battle, where they found ⁷  the Philistines in total panic killing one another with their swords. ⁸ 

[3:21]  ¹ tc The LXX has a lengthy addition here: “And Samuel was acknowledged to be a prophet of the Lord in all Israel, from one end to the other. Eli was very old and, as for his sons, their way kept getting worse and worse before the Lord.” The Hebraic nature of the Greek syntax used here suggests that the LXX translator was accurately rendering a Hebrew variant and not simply expanding the text on his own initiative.

[3:21]  ² tn The chapter division at this point is inappropriate. 1 Sam 4:1a is best understood as the conclusion to chap. 3 rather than the beginning of chap. 4.

[6:6]  ³ tn Heb “like Egypt and Pharaoh hardened their heart.”

[6:6]  ⁴ tn Heb “he”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[6:6]  ⁵ tn Heb “and they sent them away and they went.”

[10:22]  ⁶ tn Or “baggage” (so many English versions); KJV “stuff”; TEV “supplies.”

[14:20]  ⁷ tn Heb “and look, there was”

[14:20]  ⁸ tn Heb “the sword of a man against his companion, a very great panic.”
