1 Samuel 13:20

13:20 So all Israel had to go down to the Philistines in order to get their plowshares, cutting instruments, axes, and sickles ¹  sharpened.

1 Samuel 25:5

25:5 he ²  sent ten servants, ³  saying to them, ⁴  “Go up to Carmel to see Nabal and give him greetings in my name. ⁵ 

[13:20]  ¹ tc The translation follows the LXX (“their sickle”) here, rather than the MT “plowshares,” which is due to dittography from the word earlier in the verse.

[25:5]  ² tn Heb “David”; for stylistic reasons the pronoun has been used in the translation.

[25:5]  ³ tn Or “young men.”

[25:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “and David said to the young men.”

[25:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “and inquire concerning him in my name in regard to peace.”
