[9:25]  ¹ tn Heb “set against him bandits.”

[9:25]  sn Putting bandits in the hills. This piracy certainly interrupted or discouraged trade, and probably deprived Abimelech of tariffs or tribute. See C. F. Burney, Judges, 277; G. F. Moore, Judges (ICC), 253.

[9:25]  ² tn Heb “on the tops of.”

[9:25]  ³ tn Heb “It was told to Abimelech.”

[11:39]  ⁴ tn Heb “She had never known a man.” Some understand this to mean that her father committed her to a life of celibacy, but the disjunctive clause (note the vav + subject + verb pattern) more likely describes her condition at the time the vow was fulfilled. (See G. F. Moore, Judges [ICC], 302-3; C. F. Burney, Judges, 324.) She died a virgin and never experienced the joys of marriage and motherhood.

[11:39]  ⁵ tn Heb “There was a custom in Israel.”

[8:13]  ⁶ tn Or “ascent.”

[1:36]  ⁷ tn Or “the Ascent of Scorpions” (עַקְרַבִּים [’aqrabbim] means “scorpions” in Hebrew).

[1:36]  ⁸ tn Or “Amorite territory started at the Pass of the Scorpions at Sela and then went on up.”

[11:17]  ⁹ tn Heb “me.” (Collective Israel is the speaker.)

[11:17]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “did not listen.”

[11:17]  ¹¹ tn Heb “Also to the king of Moab he sent, but he was unwilling.”

[11:19]  ¹² tn Heb “to my place.”

[11:20]  ¹³ tn Heb “Sihon.” The proper name (“Sihon”) has been replaced in the translation by the pronoun (“he”) because of English style; a repetition of the proper name here would be redundant in English.

[11:20]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “all his people” (also in the following verse).

[7:19]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “Gideon went, along with the hundred men who were with him, to the edge of the camp.”

[7:19]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “that were in their hands.”

[11:18]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Israel; the pronoun in the Hebrew text represents a collective singular) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[11:18]  ¹⁸ tn The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[19:16]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “And look, an old man was coming from his work, from the field in the evening.”

[19:16]  ²⁰ tn Heb “And the men of the place were Benjaminites.”

[20:45]  ²¹ tn Heb “they”; the referent (the rest [of the Benjaminites]) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[20:45]  ²² tn Heb “and they”; the referent (the Israelites) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[20:45]  ²³ tn Heb “gleaned.” The word is an agricultural term which pictures Israelites picking off the Benjaminites as easily as one picks grapes from the vine.

[20:45]  ²⁴ tn Heb “stuck close after them.”
