[2:23]  ¹ tn Or “Havvoth Jair” (NIV, NRSV). Some translations do not translate the phrase (“havvoth” = “the towns of”), but treat it as part of the place name.

[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.”

[6:32]  ³ tn Heb “they were serving…with music.”

[6:32]  ⁴ tn Or traditionally “tabernacle.”

[7:4]  ⁶ tn Heb “and unto them by their generations to the house of their fathers [were] troops of war of battle, 36,000, for they had many wives and sons.”

[9:22]  ⁷ tn The Hebrew term is רֹאֶה (ro’eh, “seer”), an older word for נָבִיא (navi’, “prophet”).

[9:22]  ⁸ tn Heb “they – David appointed, and Samuel the seer, in their position.”

[11:4]  ⁹ tn Heb “all Israel.”

[11:4]  ¹⁰ sn Jebus was an older name for the city of Jerusalem (cf. Josh 15:8; Judg 1:21).

[11:4]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and there [were] the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land.”

[15:16]  ¹² tn Heb “causing to be heard to lift up with a voice of joy.”

[16:37]  ¹³ tn Heb “he”; the referent (David) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[16:37]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “according to the matter of the day in its day.”

[17:1]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “house.”

[17:1]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “David.” The pronoun “he” has been used in the translation here to avoid redundancy in keeping with contemporary English style.

[17:1]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “house.”

[17:1]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “tent curtains.”

[17:10]  ¹⁹ tn Here the word “house” is used in a metaphorical sense, referring to a royal dynasty. The Lord’s use of the word here plays off the literal sense that David had in mind as he contemplated building a temple (“house”) for the Lord. In the translation the adjective “dynastic” is supplied to indicate that the term is used metaphorically.

[17:25]  ²⁰ tn Heb “house.”

[17:25]  ²¹ tn Heb “That is why your servant found to pray before you.” Perhaps the phrase אֶת לִבּוֹ (’et libbo, “his heart”) should be supplied as the object of the verb “found.”

[18:8]  ²² tn The MT reads “Tibhath” here, a variant name for Tebah (cf. 2 Sam 8:8). Some English translations substitute the other version of the name here (e.g., NIV, NLT), while others follow the reading of the Hebrew text at this point (e.g., NAB, NASB, NRSV).

[18:8]  ²³ tn The parallel text of 2 Sam 8:8 has the variant name “Berothai.”

[18:8]  ²⁴ tn Heb “the sea of bronze,” or “[the] sea, the bronze one.” See the note at 1 Kgs 7:23.

[18:13]  ²⁵ tn Or “delivered.”

[18:13]  ²⁶ tn Or “wherever he went.”

[19:3]  ²⁷ tn Heb “Is David honoring your father in your eyes when he sends to you ones consoling?”

[19:3]  ²⁸ tc Heb “Is it not to explore and to overturn and to spy out the land (that) his servants have come to you?” The Hebrew term לַהֲפֹךְ (lahafakh, “to overturn”) seems misplaced in the sequence. Some emend the form to לַחְפֹּר (lakhpor, “to spy out”). The sequence of three infinitives may be a conflation of alternative readings.

[21:5]  ²⁹ tn Heb “and Joab gave to David the number of the numbering of the army [or “people”].”

[21:5]  ³⁰ tn Heb “a thousand thousands and one hundred thousand.”

[21:5]  ³¹ tc The parallel text in 2 Sam 24:9 has variant figures: “In Israel there were eight hundred thousand sword-wielding warriors, and in Judah there were five hundred thousands soldiers.”

[21:18]  ³² tn Heb “that he should go up to raise up.”

[25:4]  ³³ tn Heb “belonging to Heman, the sons of Heman.”

[28:13]  ³⁴ tn The words “he gave him the regulations” are supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[29:10]  ³⁵ tn Heb “assembly, and David said.” The words “and David said” are redundant according to contemporary English style and have not been included in the translation.
