[4:41]  ¹ tn The Hebrew text reads “their tents,” apparently referring to those of the Hamites mentioned at the end of v. 40. Some prefer to emend the text to read, “the tents of Ham.”

[4:41]  ² tn Heb “and they lived in place of them.”

[5:21]  ³ tn Heb “their”; the referent (the Hagrites) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[11:22]  ⁴ 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).

[13:6]  ⁵ tn Heb “the ark of God the Lord who sits [between] the cherubim which is called [by his] name.”

[15:17]  ⁶ tn The Hebrew text adds, “their brothers.”

[15:27]  ⁷ tn Heb “the leader, the lifting up, the musicians.” See also the note on the word “matter” in v. 22.

[15:27]  ⁸ sn An ephod was a priestly garment worn over the robe.

[17:6]  ⁹ tn In the Hebrew text the statement is phrased as a rhetorical question (“Did I say?”) meaning “I did not say.”

[17:6]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “to one of the judges of Israel whom I commanded to shepherd my people.”

[17:9]  ¹¹ tn Heb “plant.”

[17:9]  ¹² tn Heb “shaken.”

[17:9]  ¹³ tn Heb “and sons of violence will no longer consume them as in the beginning.”

[18:4]  ¹⁴ tn Or “horsemen.”

[18:4]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “his”; the referent (Hadadezer) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[18:4]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “and David cut the hamstrings of all the chariot horses, and he left from them one hundred chariot horses.”

[19:6]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “that they were a stench [i.e., disgusting] with David.”

[19:6]  ¹⁸ tn The Hebrew word כִּכַּר (kikar, “circle”) refers generally to something that is round. When used of metals it can refer to a disk-shaped weight made of the metal or, by extension, to a standard unit of weight. According to the older (Babylonian) standard the “talent” weighed 130 lbs. (58.9 kg), but later this was lowered to 108.3 lbs. (49.1 kg). More recent research suggests the “light” standard talent was 67.3 lbs. (30.6 kg). Using this as the standard for calculation, the Ammonites hired chariots and charioteers for about 33.7 tons (30,600 kg) of silver.

[19:6]  ¹⁹ tn The parallel text of 2 Sam 10:6 has “Aram Beth Rehob and Aram Zobah.”

[19:16]  ²⁰ tn Heb “the River,” referring to the Euphrates. This has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[19:16]  ²¹ tn Heb “and Aram saw that they were struck down before Israel and they sent messengers and brought out Aram which is beyond the River, and Shophach the commander of the army of Hadadezer [was] before them.”

[19:18]  ²² tc The parallel text of 2 Sam 10:18 has “seven hundred.”

[19:18]  ²³ tn The parallel text of 2 Sam 10:18 has the variant spelling “Shobach.”

[20:3]  ²⁴ 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]  ²⁵ tn Heb “and so he would do.”

[22:14]  ²⁶ tn Heb “and look, in my affliction [or perhaps, “poverty”] I have supplied for the house of the Lord.”

[22:14]  ²⁷ tn See the note on the word “talents” in 19:6.

[22:14]  ²⁸ tn Heb “a thousand thousands.”

[23:13]  ²⁹ tn Heb “and Aaron was set apart to consecrate it, the most holy things, he and his sons, permanently, to sacrifice before the Lord, to serve him, and to bless his name permanently.”
