1 Samuel 19:5

1 Samuel 19:17

1 Samuel 29:8

29:8 But David said to Achish, “What have I done? What have you found in your servant from the day that I first came into your presence until the present time, that I shouldn’t go and fight the enemies of my lord the king?”

[19:5]  ¹ tn Heb “and he put his life into his hand.”

[19:17]  ² tn Heb “Send me away! Why should I kill you?” The question has the force of a threat in this context. See P. K. McCarter, I Samuel (AB), 325, 26.

[25:17]  ³ tn Heb “all his house” (so ASV, NRSV); NAB, NLT “his whole family.”

[25:17]  ⁴ tn Heb “he is a son of worthlessness.”
