26:20 Their fellow Levites were in charge of the storehouses ²⁹  in God’s temple and the storehouses containing consecrated items.

[1:10]  ¹ tn Heb “he began to be a mighty warrior in the earth.”

[1:36]  ² tc Many medieval Hebrew mss, along with some LXX mss and the Syriac, read “Zepho” (see Gen 36:11).

[1:36]  ³ tn The Hebrew text has simply, “and Timna and Amalek,” but Gen 36:12 indicates that Timna, a concubine of Eliphaz, was the mother of Amalek. See also v. 39 below, which states that Timna was the sister of Lotan.

[2:1]  ⁴ tn The groupings in the list that follows, as well as the conjunctions (vav-consecutives in Hebrew), reflect those of the Hebrew text.

[2:6]  ⁵ tc Many medieval Hebrew mss, some LXX mss, and Syriac read “Darda” (see 1 Kgs 4:31 ET = 1 Kgs 5:11 HT).

[2:52]  ⁶ tn The Hebrew text has “Menuchites” here, but v. 54 has “Manachathites.”

[4:15]  ⁷ tn Heb “and the sons of Elah and Kenaz.” Kenaz was actually the son of Elah.

[4:17]  ⁸ tn The Hebrew text has simply, “and she gave birth to,” without identifying the subject. The words “Mered’s wife Bithiah” are added in the translation for clarification. See v. 18b, which mentions “Bethiah, whom Mered married.”

[5:19]  ⁹ tn Heb “made war with.”

[7:3]  ¹⁰ tn The Hebrew text has the plural “sons,” but only one son is listed.

[7:14]  ¹¹ sn See the note on the word “concubine” in 1:32.

[7:17]  ¹² tn The Hebrew text has the plural “sons,” but only one son is listed.

[9:27]  ¹³ tn Heb “in the house of God.”

[10:3]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “heavy.”

[10:3]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “and they found him, the ones who shoot with the bow, and he was in pain from the ones shooting.”

[10:6]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “all his house.” This is probably to be understood as a general summary statement. It could include other males in Saul’s household besides his three sons, cf. 1 Sam 31:6. If it refers only to the male members of his household who would have stood in succession to the throne (cf. NLT, “bringing his dynasty to an end,”) even here there is an exception, since one of Saul’s sons, Eshbaal (or “Ishbosheth” in 2 Sam 2:8) was not killed in the battle and became king over Israel, which he ruled for two years (2 Sam 2:10) until he was assassinated by Rechab and Baanah (2 Sam 4:5-6). The tribe of Judah never acknowledged Ishbosheth as king; instead they followed David (2 Sam 2:10).

[11:4]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “all Israel.”

[11:4]  ¹⁸ sn Jebus was an older name for the city of Jerusalem (cf. Josh 15:8; Judg 1:21).

[14:3]  ²⁰ map For location see Map5 B1; Map6 F3; Map7 E2; Map8 F2; Map10 B3; JP1 F4; JP2 F4; JP3 F4; JP4 F4.

[14:3]  ²¹ tn Heb “took.”

[16:14]  ²² tn Heb “in all the earth [are] his judgments.”

[16:34]  ²³ tn Or “is eternal.”

[16:43]  ²⁴ tn Heb “to bless his house.” Elsewhere when “house” is the object of “bless,” it refers to a household or family. See, for example, 1 Chr 13:14; 17:27. However, since בֵּית (bet, “house”) refers to a literal house or home earlier in the verse and to David’s palace in 17:1, one might translate here, “David went to pronounce a blessing on [i.e., dedicate] his house [i.e., palace].”

[18:7]  ²⁵ tn Heb “which were upon the servants of Hadadezer.”

[23:13]  ²⁷ tn Heb “and Aaron was set apart to consecrate it, the most holy things, he and his sons, permanently, to sacrifice before the Lord, to serve him, and to bless his name permanently.”

[26:13]  ²⁸ tn Heb “for a gate and a gate,” i.e., for each gate.

[26:20]  ²⁹ tn Or “treasuries.”
