[3:9]  ¹ tn Heb “So will God do to Abner and so he will add to him.”

[3:9]  ² tc Heb “has sworn to David.” The LXX, with the exception of the recension of Origen, adds “in this day.”

[14:22]  ³ tn Heb “blessed.”

[14:22]  ⁴ tc The present translation reads with the Qere “your” rather than the MT “his.”

[15:35]  ⁵ tn Heb “Will not Zadok and Abiathar the priests be there with you?” The rhetorical question draws attention to the fact that Hushai will not be alone.

[15:35]  ⁶ tn Heb “from the house of the king.”

[15:36]  ⁷ tn Heb “and you must send by their hand to me every word which you hear.” Both of the second person verb forms are plural with Zadok, Abiathar, and Hushai being the understood subjects.
