[10:12]  ¹ tn Heb “arose and carried away the corpse of Saul and the corpses of his sons.”

[10:12]  ² tn Heb “their bones.”

[12:17]  ³ tn Heb “and David went out before them and answered and said to them.”

[12:17]  ⁴ tn Heb “there will be to me concerning you a heart for unity.”

[12:17]  ⁵ tn Heb “with no violence in my hands.”

[12:17]  ⁶ tn Heb “fathers.”

[12:38]  ⁷ tc Heb “all these [were] men of war, helpers of the battle line.” The present translation assumes an emendation of עֹדְרֵי (’odÿrey, “helpers of”) to עֹרְכֵי, (’orÿkhey, “prepared for”).

[12:38]  ⁸ tn Heb “with a complete heart they came to Hebron to make David king over all Israel.”

[12:38]  ⁹ tn Heb “and also all the rest of Israel [was of] one mind to make David king.”

[17:24]  ¹⁰ tn Following the imperative in v. 23b, the prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive indicates purpose/result: “so it might become a reality.”

[17:24]  ¹¹ tn Heb “so it might be established.”

[17:24]  ¹² tn Heb “and your name might be great permanently.” Following the imperative in v. 23b, the prefixed verbal form with vav conjunctive indicates purpose/result (parallel to the previous purpose/result clause): “[so]…you might gain lasting fame.”

[17:24]  ¹³ tn Heb “saying.” The words “as people” are supplied in the translation for clarification and for stylistic reasons.

[17:24]  ¹⁴ tc Heb “the Lord who commands armies [traditionally, the Lord of hosts], the God of Israel, Israel’s God.” The phrases אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל (’elohey yisra’el, “God of Israel”) and אֱלֹהִים לְיִשְׂרָאֵל (’elohim lÿyisra’el, “Israel’s God”) are probably alternative readings that have been conflated in the text.

[17:24]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “the house of David.”

[19:6]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “that they were a stench [i.e., disgusting] with David.”

[19:6]  ¹⁷ tn The Hebrew word כִּכַּר (kikar, “circle”) refers generally to something that is round. When used of metals it can refer to a disk-shaped weight made of the metal or, by extension, to a standard unit of weight. According to the older (Babylonian) standard the “talent” weighed 130 lbs. (58.9 kg), but later this was lowered to 108.3 lbs. (49.1 kg). More recent research suggests the “light” standard talent was 67.3 lbs. (30.6 kg). Using this as the standard for calculation, the Ammonites hired chariots and charioteers for about 33.7 tons (30,600 kg) of silver.

[19:6]  ¹⁸ tn The parallel text of 2 Sam 10:6 has “Aram Beth Rehob and Aram Zobah.”
