Hakim-hakim 12:3

12:3 When I saw that you were not going to help, ¹  I risked my life ²  and advanced against ³  the Ammonites, and the Lord handed them over to me. Why have you come up ⁴  to fight with me today?”

Hakim-hakim 15:14

15:14 When he arrived in Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they approached him. But the Lord’s spirit empowered ⁵  him. The ropes around his arms were like flax dissolving in ⁶  fire, and they ⁷  melted away from his hands.

[12:3]  ¹ tn Heb “you were no deliverer.” Codex Alexandrinus (A) of the LXX has “no one was helping.”

[12:3]  ² tn Heb “I put my life in my hand.”

[12:3]  ³ tn Heb “crossed over to.”

[12:3]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew adds “against me” here. This is redundant in English and has not been included in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[15:14]  ⁵ tn Heb “rushed on.”

[15:14]  ⁶ tn Heb “burned with.”

[15:14]  ⁷ tn Heb “his bonds.”
