1 Samuel 24:22

24:22 David promised Saul this on oath. ⁴  Then Saul went to his house, and David and his men went up to the stronghold.

[8:6]  ¹ tn Heb “when.”

[17:22]  ² tn Heb “the guard of the equipment.”

[18:18]  ³ tn Heb “Who are my relatives, the clan of my father?” The term חַי (khay), traditionally understood as “my life,” is here a rare word meaning “family, kinfolk” (see HALOT 309 s.v. III חַי). The phrase “clan of my father” may be a scribal gloss explaining the referent of this rare word.

[24:22]  ⁴ tn Heb “and David swore an oath to Saul.”
