[1:19]  ¹ sn Perhaps this refers to the scattering of the people at Babel (Gen 11:1-9).

[4:17]  ² tn The Hebrew text has simply, “and she gave birth to,” without identifying the subject. The words “Mered’s wife Bithiah” are added in the translation for clarification. See v. 18b, which mentions “Bethiah, whom Mered married.”

[4:34]  ³ tn The words “their clan leaders were” are added in the translation for clarification. See v. 38a, which makes this clear.

[5:10]  ⁴ tn Heb “and in the days of Saul they made war with the Hagrites and they fell by their hand and they lived in their tents unto all the face of the east of Gilead.”

[6:57]  ⁵ tn The parallel account in Josh 21:13 has the singular “city,” which apparently refers only to Hebron.

[7:15]  ⁶ tn Some translations treat the terms שֻׁפִּים (shuppim) and חֻפִּים (khuppim) as proper names of individuals (“Huppim” and “Shuppim”), but others consider these forms to be plurals and refer to tribal or clan names.

[7:15]  ⁷ tn Heb “and the name of the second was Zelophehad.”

[9:22]  ⁸ tn The Hebrew term is רֹאֶה (ro’eh, “seer”), an older word for נָבִיא (navi’, “prophet”).

[9:22]  ⁹ tn Heb “they – David appointed, and Samuel the seer, in their position.”

[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.”

[11:20]  ¹³ tc The Syriac reads “thirty” here and at the beginning of v. 21; this reading is followed by some English translations (cf. NAB, NASB, NRSV, NLT).

[11:20]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “he was wielding his spear against three hundred, [who were] slain.”

[11:20]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “and to him [reading with the Qere] there was a name among the three.”

[13:13]  ¹⁶ sn The phrase the City of David refers here to the fortress of Zion in Jerusalem, not to Bethlehem. See 2 Sam 5:7.

[14:15]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “go out in battle.”

[14:15]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “camp.”

[16:37]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (David) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[16:37]  ²⁰ tn Heb “according to the matter of the day in its day.”

[16:41]  ²¹ 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.’”

[17:18]  ²² tn The word “say” is supplied in the translation for clarification.

[17:18]  ²³ tn Heb “for honoring your servant, and you, your servant, know.”

[18:6]  ²⁴ 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]  ²⁵ tn Or “delivered.”

[18:6]  ²⁶ tn Or “wherever he went.”

[21:24]  ²⁷ tn Heb “No, for buying I will buy for full silver.” The infinitive absolute precedes the finite verb for emphasis.
