[1:1] 1 tc The translation follows the MT. The LXX reads “a man from Ramathaim, a Zuphite”; this is followed by a number of recent English translations. It is possible the MT reading צוֹפִים (tsofim) arose from dittography of the mem (מ) at the beginning of the following word.
[11:4] 2 tn Heb “to Gibeah of Saul.”
[11:4] 3 tn Heb “lifted their voice and wept.”
[14:21] 4 tn Heb “and the Hebrews were to the Philistines formerly, who went up with them in the camp all around.”
[16:23] 5 tn Heb “would turn aside from upon him.”
[20:19] 6 tc Heb “you will do [something] a third time.” The translation assumes an emendation of the verb from שִׁלַּשְׁתָּ (shillashta, “to do a third time”) to שִׁלִּישִׁית (shillishit, “[on the] third [day]”).
[20:19] 7 tn Heb “you must go down greatly.” See Judg 19:11 for the same idiom.
[20:19] 8 tn Heb “on the day of the deed.” This probably refers to the incident recorded in 19:2.
