[11:10]  ¹ tn Heb “and these were the heads of the warriors who were David’s, who held strongly with him in his kingdom and with all Israel to make him king, according to the word of the Lord, over Israel.”

[13:13]  ² sn The phrase the City of David refers here to the fortress of Zion in Jerusalem, not to Bethlehem. See 2 Sam 5:7.

[14:2]  ³ tn Heb “was lifted upwards.”

[16:12]  ⁴ tn Heb “and the judgments of his mouth.”

[16:37]  ⁵ tn Heb “he”; the referent (David) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[16:37]  ⁶ tn Heb “according to the matter of the day in its day.”

[16:41]  ⁷ tn Perhaps this refers to the refrain of their songs of praise (see Ps 136). In this case one could translate, “to give thanks to the Lord with songs using the refrain, ‘For his loyal love endures.’”

[17:1]  ⁸ tn Heb “house.”

[17:1]  ⁹ tn Heb “David.” The pronoun “he” has been used in the translation here to avoid redundancy in keeping with contemporary English style.

[17:1]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “house.”

[17:1]  ¹¹ tn Heb “tent curtains.”

[17:10]  ¹² tn Here the word “house” is used in a metaphorical sense, referring to a royal dynasty. The Lord’s use of the word here plays off the literal sense that David had in mind as he contemplated building a temple (“house”) for the Lord. In the translation the adjective “dynastic” is supplied to indicate that the term is used metaphorically.

[17:18]  ¹³ tn The word “say” is supplied in the translation for clarification.

[17:18]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “for honoring your servant, and you, your servant, know.”

[17:19]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “heart.”

[17:19]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “to make known all the great deeds.”

[17:27]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “house.”

[17:27]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “for you, O Lord, have blessed and [it is] blessed permanently.”

[18:6]  ¹⁹ tc Heb “and David placed in Aram of Damascus.” The object נְצִיבִים (nÿtsivim, “garrisons”) appears to have been accidentally omitted from the text. See v. 13, as well as the parallel passage in 2 Sam 8:6, which includes it.

[18:6]  ²⁰ tn Or “delivered.”

[18:6]  ²¹ tn Or “wherever he went.”

[18:8]  ²² tn The MT reads “Tibhath” here, a variant name for Tebah (cf. 2 Sam 8:8). Some English translations substitute the other version of the name here (e.g., NIV, NLT), while others follow the reading of the Hebrew text at this point (e.g., NAB, NASB, NRSV).

[18:8]  ²³ tn The parallel text of 2 Sam 8:8 has the variant name “Berothai.”

[18:8]  ²⁴ tn Heb “the sea of bronze,” or “[the] sea, the bronze one.” See the note at 1 Kgs 7:23.

[18:13]  ²⁵ tn Or “delivered.”

[18:13]  ²⁶ tn Or “wherever he went.”

[21:13]  ²⁷ tn Heb “There is great distress to me; let me fall into the hand of the Lord for his mercy is very great, but into the hand of men let me not fall.”

[21:22]  ²⁸ tn Heb “the place of the threshing floor.”

[21:22]  ²⁹ tn Following the imperative, the prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive here indicates the immediate purpose/result: “so I can build.”

[21:22]  ³⁰ tn Heb “For full silver sell to me.”

[21:22]  ³¹ tn Following the imperative and first person prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive, this third person prefixed verbal form with vav conjunctive introduces the ultimate purpose/result: “so the plague may be removed.” Another option is subordinate this form to the preceding imperative, but the latter may be taken as a parenthetical expansion of the initial request.

[21:24]  ³² tn Heb “No, for buying I will buy for full silver.” The infinitive absolute precedes the finite verb for emphasis.

[21:24]  ³³ tc The parallel text in 2 Sam 24:24 has the plural “burnt sacrifices.”

[21:24]  ³⁴ tn Or “without [paying] compensation.”

[22:13]  ³⁵ tn Heb “which the Lord commanded Moses concerning Israel.”

[22:13]  ³⁶ tn Or perhaps, “and don’t get discouraged.”

[23:4]  ³⁷ tn The words “David said” are supplied here in the translation for clarification. The appearance of the first person verb “I supplied” in v. 5 indicates that David is speaking here.

[25:4]  ³⁸ tn Heb “belonging to Heman, the sons of Heman.”

[28:11]  ³⁹ tn Heb “for the porch.” The word “temple” was supplied in the translation for clarity.

[28:11]  ⁴⁰ tn Or “storerooms.”

[28:11]  ⁴¹ tn Heb “house.”

[28:18]  ⁴² tn The words “he gave him” are supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[28:18]  ⁴³ tc The Hebrew text reads מֶרְכָּבָה (merkavah, “chariot”), but the final he (ה) is probably dittographic – note the prefixed he (ה) on the immediately following word. It is preferable to read מֶרְכָּב (merkav, “seat”).

[28:18]  ⁴⁴ tc The Hebrew text does not have “their wings,” but the word כְּנָפַיִם (kÿnafayim, “wings”) has probably been accidentally omitted by homoioteleuton. Note that the immediately preceding לְפֹרְשִׂים (lÿforsim) also ends in mem (ם).

[29:9]  ⁴⁵ tn Heb “with a complete heart.”

[29:9]  ⁴⁶ tn Heb “was rejoiced with great joy.”

[29:25]  ⁴⁷ tn Heb “and gave to him glory of kingship which there was not concerning every king before him over Israel.”
