1 tn Heb “and unto them by their generations to the house of their fathers [were] troops of war of battle, 36,000, for they had many wives and sons.”
2 tn Heb “holy place.”
3 tn Or “tokens of peace”; NIV “fellowship offerings.”
4 tn Heb “house.”
5 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.”
6 tn Heb “No, for buying I will buy for full silver.” The infinitive absolute precedes the finite verb for emphasis.
7 tc The parallel text in 2 Sam 24:24 has the plural “burnt sacrifices.”
8 tn Or “without [paying] compensation.”
