[22:11]  ¹ tn Heb “as he spoke concerning you.”

[22:13]  ² tn Heb “which the Lord commanded Moses concerning Israel.”

[22:13]  ³ tn Or perhaps, “and don’t get discouraged.”

[29:23]  ⁴ tn Heb “listened to him.”

[27:27]  ⁵ tn Heb “and over [that] which is in the vineyards, with respect to the storehouses of the wine, [was] Zabdi the Shiphmite.”

[21:2]  ⁶ tn Or “people.”

[21:2]  ⁷ tn Heb “Go, count Israel.” See the note on “had” in v. 1.

[21:5]  ⁹ tn Heb “and Joab gave to David the number of the numbering of the army [or “people”].”

[21:5]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “a thousand thousands and one hundred thousand.”

[21:5]  ¹¹ tc The parallel text in 2 Sam 24:9 has variant figures: “In Israel there were eight hundred thousand sword-wielding warriors, and in Judah there were five hundred thousands soldiers.”

[10:3]  ¹² tn Heb “heavy.”

[10:3]  ¹³ tn Heb “and they found him, the ones who shoot with the bow, and he was in pain from the ones shooting.”

[18:9]  ¹⁴ tn The name is spelled “Toi” in the parallel text in 2 Sam 8:9.

[18:12]  ¹⁵ tn The parallel text of 2 Sam 8:13 attributes this victory to David.

[5:22]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “from God [was] the battle.”

[5:22]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “many slain fell.”

[5:22]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “and they lived in place of them until the exile.” The referent of “them” (the Hagrites) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[11:14]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “delivered it.”

[11:14]  ²⁰ tn Heb “and the Lord delivered [with] a great deliverance.”

[18:3]  ²¹ tn Heb “hand.”

[18:3]  ²² tn Heb “when he went to set up his hand at the Euphrates River.” The Hebrew word יָד (yad, “hand”) is usually understood to mean “control” or “dominion” here. However, since יָד does occasionally refer to a monument, perhaps one could translate, “to set up his monument at the Euphrates River” (i.e., as a visible marker of the limits of his dominion). For another example of the Hiphil of נָצַב (natsav) used with יָד (“monument”), see 1 Sam 15:12.

[2:23]  ²³ 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.

[5:10]  ²⁴ tn Heb “and in the days of Saul they made war with the Hagrites and they fell by their hand and they lived in their tents unto all the face of the east of Gilead.”

[20:4]  ²⁵ tn Heb “battle stood.”

[20:4]  ²⁶ tn The parallel text in 2 Sam 21:18 identifies this site as “Gob.”

[20:4]  ²⁷ tn The parallel text in 2 Sam 21:18 has the variant spelling “Saph.”

[20:4]  ²⁸ tn Heb “they”; the referent (the Philistines) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[20:5]  ²⁹ tc The Hebrew text reads, “Elchanan son of Jair killed Lachmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite.” But it is likely that the accusative marker in front of לַחְמִי (lakhmiy, “Lachmi”) is a corruption of בֵּית (bet), and that אֶת־לַחְמִי (’et-lakhmiy) should be emended to בֵּית הַלַּחְמִי (bet hallakhmiy, “the Bethlehemite”). See 2 Sam 21:19.

[20:5]  ³⁰ tc See tc note on the parallel passage in 2 Sam 21:19.

[29:25]  ³¹ tn Heb “and gave to him glory of kingship which there was not concerning every king before him over Israel.”

[5:21]  ³² tn Heb “their”; the referent (the Hagrites) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[11:2]  ³³ tn Heb “you were the one who led out and the one who brought in Israel.”

[11:22]  ³⁴ 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).

[12:18]  ³⁵ tn Perhaps “the Spirit,” but the text has simply רוּחַ (ruakh) with no article (suggesting an indefinite reference).

[12:18]  ³⁶ tn Heb “clothed.”

[12:18]  ³⁷ tn The words “and he said” are supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[12:18]  ³⁸ tn Heb “are with.”

[12:18]  ³⁹ tn Heb “Peace, peace to you.” The Hebrew term שָׁלוֹם (shalom, “peace”) is repeated to emphasize degree.

[12:18]  ⁴⁰ tn Heb “and peace to the one who helps you.”

[12:18]  ⁴¹ tn Or “for.”

[14:11]  ⁴² tn Heb “by my hand.”

[14:11]  ⁴³ sn The name Baal Perazim means “Lord of outbursts” in Hebrew.

[18:10]  ⁴⁴ tn The name is spelled “Joram” in the parallel text in 2 Sam 8:10.

[18:10]  ⁴⁵ tn Heb “to ask concerning him for peace.”

[18:10]  ⁴⁶ tn Heb “and to bless him because he fought with Hadadezer and defeated him, for Hadadezer was a man of battles with Tou.”

[18:10]  ⁴⁷ tn Heb “[along with] all items of gold and silver and bronze.”

[19:18]  ⁴⁸ tc The parallel text of 2 Sam 10:18 has “seven hundred.”

[22:14]  ⁵¹ tn Heb “and look, in my affliction [or perhaps, “poverty”] I have supplied for the house of the Lord.”

[22:14]  ⁵² tn See the note on the word “talents” in 19:6.
