1 Tawarikh 19:5

19:5 Messengers ³  came and told David what had happened to the men, so he summoned them, for the men were thoroughly humiliated. The king said, “Stay in Jericho ⁴  until your beards grow again; then you may come back.”

1 Tawarikh 21:3

21:3 Joab replied, “May the Lord make his army ⁵  a hundred times larger! My master, O king, do not all of them serve my master? Why does my master want to do this? Why bring judgment on Israel?” ⁶ 

1 Tawarikh 21:12

21:12 three ⁷  years of famine, or three months being chased by your enemies and struck down by their swords, ⁸  or three days being struck down by the Lord, during which a plague will invade the land and the Lord’s messenger will destroy throughout Israel’s territory.’ ⁹  Now, decide what I should tell the one who sent me.”

1 Tawarikh 21:17

21:17 David said to God, “Was I not the one who decided to number the army? I am the one who sinned and committed this awful deed! ¹⁰  As for these sheep – what have they done? O Lord my God, attack me and my family, ¹¹  but remove the plague from your people!” ¹² 

1 Tawarikh 22:14

22:14 Now, look, I have made every effort to supply what is needed to build the Lord’s temple. ¹³  I have stored up 100,000 talents ¹⁴  of gold, 1,000,000 ¹⁵  talents of silver, and so much bronze and iron it cannot be weighed, as well as wood and stones. Feel free to add more!

1 Tawarikh 28:8

28:8 So now, in the sight of all Israel, the Lord’s assembly, and in the hearing of our God, I say this: ¹⁶  Carefully observe ¹⁷  all the commands of the Lord your God, so that you may possess this good land and may leave it as a permanent inheritance for your children after you.

[17:7]  ¹ tn Traditionally, “Lord of hosts.”

[17:7]  ² tn Heb “and from after sheep.”

[19:5]  ³ tn Heb “they.” The logical referent, though not specified in the Hebrew text, has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[19:5]  ⁴ map For location see Map5 B2; Map6 E1; Map7 E1; Map8 E3; Map10 A2; Map11 A1.

[21:3]  ⁵ tn Or “people.”

[21:3]  ⁶ tn Heb “Why should it become guilt for Israel?” David’s decision betrays an underlying trust in his own strength rather than in divine provision. See also 1 Chr 27:23-24.

[21:12]  ⁷ tc The parallel text in the MT of 2 Sam 24:13 has “seven,” but LXX has “three” there.

[21:12]  ⁸ tc Heb “or three months being swept away from before your enemies and the sword of your enemies overtaking.” The Hebrew term נִסְפֶּה (nisppeh, Niphal participle from סָפָה, safah) should probably be emended to נֻסְכָה (nusÿkhah, Qal infinitive from נוּס [nus] with second masculine singular suffix). See 2 Sam 24:13.

[21:12]  ⁹ tn Heb “or three days of the sword of the Lord and plague in the land, and the messenger [or “angel”] of the Lord destroying in all the territory of Israel.”

[21:17]  ¹⁰ tn “and doing evil I did evil.” The infinitive absolute precedes the finite form of the verb for emphasis.

[21:17]  ¹¹ tn Heb “let your hand be on me and on the house of my father.”

[21:17]  ¹² tn Heb “but on your people not for a plague.”

[22:14]  ¹³ tn Heb “and look, in my affliction [or perhaps, “poverty”] I have supplied for the house of the Lord.”

[22:14]  ¹⁴ tn See the note on the word “talents” in 19:6.

[22:14]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “a thousand thousands.”

[28:8]  ¹⁶ tn The words “I say this” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[28:8]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “Watch! Seek!”
