[1:17]  ¹ tc The words “the sons of Aram” do not appear in the Hebrew text. Apparently the phrase וּבְנֵי אֲרָם (uvÿney ’aram) has accidentally dropped out of the text by homoioteleuton (note the presence of אֲרָם just before this). The phrase is included in Gen 10:23.

[1:17]  ² tc The MT of the parallel geneaology in Gen 10:23 reads “Mash,” but the LXX there reads “Meshech” in agreement with 1 Chr 1:17.

[2:16]  ³ tn In 2 Sam 2:18 this name appears as “Abishai,” a spelling followed by many English versions here.

[6:66]  ⁴ tn Heb “and from [it is probably preferable to read “to” here] the clans of the sons of Kohath and there were the cities of their territory from the tribe of Ephraim.”

[12:29]  ⁵ tn Heb “from the sons of Benjamin, the brothers of Saul.”

[12:29]  ⁶ tn Heb “and until then, the majority of them were keeping the charge of the house of Saul.”
