1 Tawarikh 20:2

20:2 David took the crown from the head of their king ⁴  and wore it ⁵  (its weight was a talent ⁶  of gold and it was set with precious stones). He took a large amount of plunder from the city.

[18:4]  ¹ tn Or “horsemen.”

[18:4]  ² tn Heb “his”; the referent (Hadadezer) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[18:4]  ³ tn Heb “and David cut the hamstrings of all the chariot horses, and he left from them one hundred chariot horses.”

[20:2]  ⁴ 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.

[20:2]  ⁵ tn Heb “and it was on the head of David.”

[20:2]  ⁶ sn See the note on the word “talents” in 19:6.
