[13:9] 1 tn Heb “from upon me.”

[18:16] 3 tn Heb “the shophar” (the ram’s horn trumpet).

[20:1] 10 tc The MT reads לְאֹהָלָיו (lÿ’ohalav, “to his tents”). For a similar idiom, see 19:9. An ancient scribal tradition understands the reading to be לְאלֹהָיו (le’lohav, “to his gods”). The word is a tiqqun sopherim, and the scribes indicate that they changed the word from “gods” to “tents” so as to soften its theological implications. In a consonantal Hebrew text the change involved only the metathesis of two letters.

[20:22] 12 tn Heb “they”; the referent (Joab’s men) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
