1 Samuel 30:16

30:16 So he took David ¹  down, and they found them spread out over the land. They were eating and drinking and enjoying themselves because of all the loot ²  they had taken from the land of the Philistines and from the land of Judah.

1 Samuel 31:12

31:12 all their warriors set out and traveled throughout the night. They took Saul’s corpse and the corpses of his sons from the city wall of Beth Shan and went ³  to Jabesh, where they burned them.

[30:16]  ¹ tn Heb “him”; the referent (David) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[30:16]  ² tn Heb “because of all the large plunder.”

[31:12]  ³ tc The translation follows the MT, which vocalizes the verb as a Qal. The LXX, however, treats the verb as a Hiphil, “they brought.”
