[2:8]  ¹ tn Heb “Look, with you is Shimei….”

[2:8]  ² tn Heb “and he cursed me with a horrible curse on the day I went to Mahanaim.”

[2:8]  ³ tn Or “swore an oath to.”

[2:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “kill you.”

[18:16]  ⁵ tn Heb “Obadiah went to meet Ahab and told him, and Ahab went to meet Elijah.”

[18:7]  ⁶ tn Heb “look, Elijah [came] to meet him.”

[2:7]  ⁷ tn Heb “do loyalty with”; or “act faithfully toward.”

[2:7]  ⁸ tn Heb “and let them be among the ones who eat [at] your table.”

[2:7]  ⁹ tn Heb “drew near to.”

[2:19]  ¹⁰ tn Or “meet.”

[2:19]  ¹¹ tn Heb “he set up a throne for the mother of the king.”

[20:27]  ¹² tn The noun translated “small flocks” occurs only here. The common interpretation derives the word from the verbal root חשׂף, “to strip off; to make bare.” In this case the noun refers to something “stripped off” or “made bare.” HALOT 359 s.v. II חשׂף derives the noun from a proposed homonymic verbal root (which occurs only in Ps 29:9) meaning “cause a premature birth.” In this case the derived noun could refer to goats that are undersized because they are born prematurely.
