22:18 He told them, ⁶  “The Lord your God is with you! ⁷  He has made you secure on every side, ⁸  for he handed over to me the inhabitants of the region ⁹  and the region ¹⁰  is subdued before the Lord and his people.

[19:17]  ¹ tn The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[19:17]  ² tc The parallel text of 2 Sam 10:17 “he came to Helam.”

[19:17]  tn Heb “and he came to them and was deployed against them.”

[19:17]  ³ tn Heb “and David was deployed to meet Aram [for] battle and they fought with him.”

[21:3]  ⁴ tn Or “people.”

[21:3]  ⁵ 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.

[22:18]  ⁶ tn The words “he told them” are added in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[22:18]  ⁷ tn In the Hebrew text the statement is phrased as a rhetorical question, “Is not the Lord your God with you?” The question anticipates the response, “Of course he is!” Thus in the translation the positive statement “The Lord your God is with you!” has been used.

[22:18]  ⁸ tn Heb “and he gives rest to you all around.”

[22:18]  ⁹ tn Or “earth.”

[22:18]  ¹⁰ tn Or “earth.”
