1 Tawarikh 10:7

10:7 When all the Israelites who were in the valley saw that the army ¹  had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities and fled. The Philistines came and occupied them.

1 Tawarikh 20:3

20:3 He removed the city’s residents and made them do hard labor with saws, iron picks, and axes. ²  This was his policy ³  with all the Ammonite cities. Then David and all the army returned to Jerusalem.

[10:7]  ¹ tn Heb “they”; the referent (the army) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[20:3]  ² tc The Hebrew text reads “saws,” but since saws were just mentioned, it is preferable to emend מְגֵרוֹת (mÿgerot, “saws”) to מַגְזְרוֹת (magzÿrot, “axes”).

[20:3]  ³ tn Heb “and so he would do.”
