1 Samuel 24:11

24:11 Look, my father, and see the edge of your robe in my hand! When I cut off the edge of your robe, I didn’t kill you. So realize and understand that I am not planning ⁷  evil or rebellion. Even though I have not sinned against you, you are waiting in ambush to take my life.

[20:39]  ¹ tn Heb “knew the matter.”

[18:28]  ² tn Heb “saw and knew.”

[18:28]  ³ tn Heb “Saul’s.” In the translation the proper name has been replaced by the pronoun for stylistic reasons.

[18:28]  ⁴ tn Heb “him”; the referent (David) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[28:1]  ⁵ tn Heb “their camps.”

[28:1]  ⁶ tc The translation follows the LXX (εἰς πόλεμον, eis polemon) and a Qumran ms מלחמה במלחמה ([m]lkhmh) bammilkhamah (“in the battle”) rather than the MT’s בַמַּחֲנֶה (bammakhaneh, “in the camp”; cf. NASB). While the MT reading is not impossible here, and although admittedly it is the harder reading, the variant fits the context better. The MT can be explained as a scribal error caused in part by the earlier occurrence of “camp” in this verse.

[24:11]  ⁷ tn Heb “there is not in my hand.”
