[4:34]  ¹ tn The words “their clan leaders were” are added in the translation for clarification. See v. 38a, which makes this clear.

[5:25]  ² tn Heb “fathers.”

[5:25]  ³ tn Heb “prostituted themselves after.”

[5:25]  ⁴ tn Heb “the peoples of the land.”

[6:60]  ⁵ tn The parallel passage in Josh 21:17 adds “Gibeon and its pasturelands” (cf. NAB, NIV, NCV, NLT). The words “they were allotted” are supplied in the translation for both clarity and stylistic reasons.

[6:62]  ⁶ tn Heb “and to the sons of Gershom by their clans from the tribe of Issachar, and from the tribe of Asher, and from the tribe of Naphtali, and from the tribe of Manasseh in Bashan, thirteen cities.”

[9:2]  ⁷ tn Heb “and the inhabitants, the first who [were] in their property in their cities, Israel, the priests, the Levites, and the temple servants.”

[10:13]  ⁸ tn Heb “and Saul died because of his unfaithfulness by which he acted unfaithfully against the Lord, concerning the word of the Lord which he did not keep, also to Saul, a ritual pit to seek.” The text alludes to the incident recorded in 1 Sam 28. The Hebrew term אוֹב (’ov, “ritual pit”) refers to a pit used by a magician to conjure up underworld spirits. In 1 Sam 28:7 the witch of Endor is called a בַּעֲלַת־אוֹב (ba’alat-’ov, “owner of a ritual pit”). See H. A. Hoffner, “Second Millennium Antecedents to the Hebrew áo‚b,” JBL 86 (1967): 385-401.

[11:10]  ⁹ 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.”

[11:11]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and these are the number of the warriors who were David’s.”

[11:11]  ¹¹ tc The marginal reading (Qere) has “officers;” the consonantal text (Kethib) has “the Thirty” (see v. 15).

[11:11]  ¹² tn Heb “he was wielding his spear against 300, [who were] slain at one time.”

[17:8]  ¹³ tn Heb “cut off.”

[17:8]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “and I will make for you a name like the name of the great men who are in the earth.”

[17:23]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “and now, O Lord, the word which you spoke concerning your servant and concerning his house, may it be established permanently.”

[17:23]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “as you have spoken.”

[26:16]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “a guard alongside a guard.”

[26:20]  ¹⁸ tn Or “treasuries.”

[26:32]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “and his brothers, sons of respect, [were] 2,700, heads of fathers.”

[26:32]  ²⁰ tn Heb “with respect to every matter of God and matter of the king.”

[28:5]  ²¹ tn Heb “from all my sons, for many sons the Lord has given to me, he chose Solomon my son to sit on the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel.”

[29:7]  ²² tn See the note on the word “talents” in 19:6. Using the “light” standard talent of 67.3 lbs. (30.6 kg) as the standard for calculation, the people donated 168.3 tons (153,000 kg) of gold, 336.5 tons (306,000 kg) of silver, 605.7 tons (550,800 kg) of bronze, and 3,365 tons (3,060,000 kg) of iron.

[29:7]  ²³ tn On the “daric” as a unit of measure, see BDB 204 s.v. דַּרְכְּמוֹן. Some have regarded the daric as a minted coin, perhaps even referring to the Greek drachma, but this is less likely.

[29:7]  sn The daric was a unit of weight perhaps equal to between 8 and 9 grams (just under one-third of an ounce), so 10,000 darics of gold would weigh between 80 and 90 kilograms (between 176 and 198 pounds).

[29:29]  ²⁴ tn Heb “and the events of David the king, the former and the latter, look they are written in the annals of Samuel the seer, and in the annals of Nathan the prophet, and in the annals of Gad the seer.”
