[6:60]  ⁵ tn The parallel passage in Josh 21:17 adds “Gibeon and its pasturelands” (cf. NAB, NIV, NCV, NLT). The words “they were allotted” are supplied in the translation for both clarity and stylistic reasons.

[21:22]  ⁶ tn Heb “the place of the threshing floor.”

[21:22]  ⁷ tn Following the imperative, the prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive here indicates the immediate purpose/result: “so I can build.”

[21:22]  ⁸ tn Heb “For full silver sell to me.”

[21:22]  ⁹ tn Following the imperative and first person prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive, this third person prefixed verbal form with vav conjunctive introduces the ultimate purpose/result: “so the plague may be removed.” Another option is subordinate this form to the preceding imperative, but the latter may be taken as a parenthetical expansion of the initial request.

[17:5]  ¹⁰ tn The words “from Egypt” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[17:5]  ¹¹ tc Heb “and I was from tent to tent and from tabernacle.” The words אֶל־מִשְּׁכָּן (’el-mishÿkan, “to tabernacle”) should probably be added at the end of the sentence to complete this prepositional phrase and produce symmetry with the preceding prepositional phrase. The words probably fell from the text by homoioteleuton.

[17:5]  sn I have lived in a tent that has been in various places. The point here is that the Lord moved with the tabernacle as it moved from place to place; he did not confine himself to a particular location.

[17:12]  ¹² tn Heb “and I will establish his throne permanently.”

[22:7]  ¹³ tn Heb “I was with my heart.”

[18:4]  ²⁴ tn Heb “and David cut the hamstrings of all the chariot horses, and he left from them one hundred chariot horses.”

[2:23]  ²⁵ tn Or “Havvoth Jair” (NIV, NRSV). Some translations do not translate the phrase (“havvoth” = “the towns of”), but treat it as part of the place name.

[6:61]  ²⁶ tn Heb “to the sons of Kohath who were left from the clan of the tribe, from the half of the tribe of the half of Manasseh by lot ten cities.”

[6:62]  ²⁷ tn Heb “and to the sons of Gershom by their clans from the tribe of Issachar, and from the tribe of Asher, and from the tribe of Naphtali, and from the tribe of Manasseh in Bashan, thirteen cities.”

[17:1]  ²⁹ tn Heb “house.”

[22:10]  ³³ tn Heb “for my name.”

[22:10]  ³⁴ tn Heb “and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel permanently.”

[17:6]  ³⁵ tn In the Hebrew text the statement is phrased as a rhetorical question (“Did I say?”) meaning “I did not say.”

[17:6]  ³⁶ tn Heb “to one of the judges of Israel whom I commanded to shepherd my people.”

[21:26]  ³⁷ tn Or “tokens of peace.”

[21:26]  ³⁸ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[10:10]  ³⁹ tn Or “god.” The Hebrew term may be translated as singular or plural depending on the context.

[11:17]  ⁴⁰ tn Heb “Who will give me water to drink?” On the rhetorical use of מִי (mi) here, see BDB 566 s.v. f.

[11:13]  ⁴¹ tc Some read here “Ephes Dammim.” See 1 Sam 17:1.

[19:18]  ⁴² tc The parallel text of 2 Sam 10:18 has “seven hundred.”

[19:18]  ⁴³ tn The parallel text of 2 Sam 10:18 has the variant spelling “Shobach.”

[20:2]  ⁴⁴ tc The translation follows the MT, which reads “of their king”; the LXX and Vulgate read “of Milcom” (cf. 1 Kgs 11:5). Milcom, also known as Molech, was the god of the Ammonites.

[22:8]  ⁴⁸ tn Heb “for my name.”

[2:53]  ⁴⁹ tn Heb “from these went forth the Zorathites and Eshtaolites.”

[2:55]  ⁵⁰ tn Or perhaps “the Sopherim.” The NAB transliterates this term and treats it as a proper name.

[2:55]  ⁵¹ tn Heb “came.”

[2:55]  ⁵² tn Or (if בֵּית [beth] is translated as “house” rather than considered to be part of the name) “the father of the house [i.e., family] of Rechab.”

[17:10]  ⁵³ tn Here the word “house” is used in a metaphorical sense, referring to a royal dynasty. The Lord’s use of the word here plays off the literal sense that David had in mind as he contemplated building a temple (“house”) for the Lord. In the translation the adjective “dynastic” is supplied to indicate that the term is used metaphorically.

[17:25]  ⁵⁴ tn Heb “house.”

[17:25]  ⁵⁵ tn Heb “That is why your servant found to pray before you.” Perhaps the phrase אֶת לִבּוֹ (’et libbo, “his heart”) should be supplied as the object of the verb “found.”

[18:8]  ⁵⁶ tn The MT reads “Tibhath” here, a variant name for Tebah (cf. 2 Sam 8:8). Some English translations substitute the other version of the name here (e.g., NIV, NLT), while others follow the reading of the Hebrew text at this point (e.g., NAB, NASB, NRSV).

[18:8]  ⁵⁷ tn The parallel text of 2 Sam 8:8 has the variant name “Berothai.”

[10:12]  ⁶² tn Heb “arose and carried away the corpse of Saul and the corpses of his sons.”

[10:12]  ⁶³ tn Heb “their bones.”

[11:22]  ⁶⁴ tc Heb “the two of Ariel, Moab.” The precise meaning of אֲרִיאֵל (’ari’el) is uncertain; some read “warrior.” The present translation assumes that the word is a proper name and that בְּנֵי (bÿney, “sons of”) has accidentally dropped from the text by homoioarcton (note the preceding שְׁנֵי, shÿney).

[11:23]  ⁶⁵ tn Heb “five cubits.” Assuming a length of 18 inches for the standard cubit, this individual would be 7.5 feet (2.3 m) tall.
