[9:27]  ¹ tc This statement is absent in the LXX (with the exception of Origen), an Old Latin ms, and the Syriac Peshitta.

[9:27]  ² tn The words “Samuel then said” are supplied in the translation for clarification and for stylistic reasons.

[14:1]  ³ tn Or “the servant who was carrying his military equipment” (likewise in vv. 6, 7, 12, 13, 14).

[19:3]  ⁴ tn Heb “when I see.”

[20:19]  ⁵ 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]  ⁶ tn Heb “you must go down greatly.” See Judg 19:11 for the same idiom.

[20:19]  ⁷ tn Heb “on the day of the deed.” This probably refers to the incident recorded in 19:2.
