[3:12]  ¹ tn Or “fulfill.”

[18:28]  ² tn Heb “saw and knew.”

[18:28]  ³ tn Heb “Saul’s.” In the translation the proper name has been replaced by the pronoun for stylistic reasons.

[18:28]  ⁴ tn Heb “him”; the referent (David) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[20:23]  ⁵ tc Heb “the Lord [is] between me and between you forever.” The translation assumes that the original text read עֵד עַד־עוֹלָם (’ed ’ad-’olam), “a witness forever,” with the noun “a witness” accidentally falling out of the text by haplography. See P. K. McCarter, I Samuel (AB), 338.

[29:5]  ⁷ tn Heb “in dances.”
