29:4 This includes 3,000 talents ¹⁸  of gold from Ophir and 7,000 talents of refined silver for overlaying the walls of the buildings,

1 Tawarikh 12:29

12:29 From Benjamin, Saul’s tribe, ¹⁹  there were 3,000, most of whom, up to that time, had been loyal to Saul. ²⁰

11:19 and said, “God forbid that I should do this! ²²  Should I drink the blood of these men who risked their lives?” ²³  Because they risked their lives to bring it to him, he refused to drink it. Such were the exploits of the three elite warriors. ²⁴ 

1 Tawarikh 11:18

11:18 So the three elite warriors ²⁵  broke through the Philistine forces and drew some water from the cistern in Bethlehem near the city gate. They carried it back to David, but David refused to drink it. He poured it out as a drink offering to the Lord

1 Tawarikh 27:1

Leaders of the Army

27:1 What follows is a list of Israelite family leaders and commanders of units of a thousand and a hundred, as well as their officers who served the king in various matters. Each division was assigned to serve for one month during the year; each consisted of 24,000 men. ⁶⁸ 

[7:6]  ¹ tc The Hebrew text has simply “Benjamin,” but בְּנֵי (bÿney, “sons of”) has dropped out by haplography (בְּנֵי בִּנְיָמִן, bÿney binyamin).

[10:6]  ² tn Heb “all his house.” This is probably to be understood as a general summary statement. It could include other males in Saul’s household besides his three sons, cf. 1 Sam 31:6. If it refers only to the male members of his household who would have stood in succession to the throne (cf. NLT, “bringing his dynasty to an end,”) even here there is an exception, since one of Saul’s sons, Eshbaal (or “Ishbosheth” in 2 Sam 2:8) was not killed in the battle and became king over Israel, which he ruled for two years (2 Sam 2:10) until he was assassinated by Rechab and Baanah (2 Sam 4:5-6). The tribe of Judah never acknowledged Ishbosheth as king; instead they followed David (2 Sam 2:10).

[8:1]  ³ sn Aharah is called “Ahiram” in Num 26:38.

[11:12]  ⁴ tn Heb “after him.”

[2:16]  ⁵ tn In 2 Sam 2:18 this name appears as “Abishai,” a spelling followed by many English versions here.

[24:23]  ⁶ tc Most Hebrew mss omit “Hebron” here, but see 1 Chr 23:19. The name is included in two Hebrew mss and some LXX mss.

[11:21]  ⁷ tn Or “more than.”

[11:21]  ⁸ tn Heb “of the three.”

[11:25]  ⁹ tn Or “more than.”

[29:27]  ¹⁰ map For location see Map5 B1; Map6 F3; Map7 E2; Map8 F2; Map10 B3; JP1 F4; JP2 F4; JP3 F4; JP4 F4.

[21:12]  ¹¹ tc The parallel text in the MT of 2 Sam 24:13 has “seven,” but LXX has “three” there.

[21:12]  ¹² 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]  ¹³ 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.”

[12:39]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “eating and drinking.”

[21:10]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “Three I am extending to you; choose for yourself one of them and I will do it to you.”

[3:4]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “him”; the referent (David) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[3:4]  ¹⁷ map For location see Map5 B1; Map6 F3; Map7 E2; Map8 F2; Map10 B3; JP1 F4; JP2 F4; JP3 F4; JP4 F4.

[29:4]  ¹⁸ tn See the note on the word “talents” in 19:6. Using the “light” standard talent of 67.3 lbs. (30.6 kg) as the standard for calculation, David had supplied 101 tons (91,800 kg) of gold and 235.5 tons (214,200 kg) of silver.

[12:29]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “from the sons of Benjamin, the brothers of Saul.”

[12:29]  ²⁰ tn Heb “and until then, the majority of them were keeping the charge of the house of Saul.”

[25:5]  ²¹ tn Heb “by the words of God to exalt a horn.” An animal’s horn is sometimes used metaphorically as a symbol of strength and honor. See BDB 901-2 s.v. קֶרֶנ.

[11:19]  ²² tn Heb “Far be it to me from my God from doing this.”

[11:19]  ²³ tn Heb “with their lives.” The same expression occurs later in this verse.

[11:19]  ²⁴ tn Heb “These things the three warriors did.”

[11:18]  ²⁵ tn Heb “the three,” referring to the three elite warriors mentioned in v. 12.

[2:3]  ²⁶ tn The name means “daughter of Shua.” Shua is identified in Gen 38:2 as a “Canaanite man.”

[2:3]  ²⁷ tn Heb “was evil in the eyes of the Lord, so he [i.e., the Lord] killed him [i.e., Er].”

[11:20]  ²⁸ 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]  ²⁹ tn Heb “he was wielding his spear against three hundred, [who were] slain.”

[11:20]  ³⁰ tn Heb “and to him [reading with the Qere] there was a name among the three.”

[27:6]  ³¹ tn Heb “That [was the] Benaiah [who was] a warrior of the thirty and over the thirty, and his division, Ammizabad his son.”

[12:4]  ³² sn In the Hebrew text (BHS) a verse division occurs at this point, and for the remainder of the chapter the verse numbers of the Hebrew Bible differ by one from the English Bible. Thus 1 Chr 12:4b ET = 12:5 HT, and 12:5-40 ET = 12:6-41 HT. Beginning with 13:1 the verse numbers in the ET and HT are again the same.

[23:3]  ³³ tn Heb “and their number by their heads, by men, was 38,000.”

[15:7]  ³⁴ sn Gershom is a variant spelling of the name Gershon.

[11:11]  ³⁵ tn Heb “and these are the number of the warriors who were David’s.”

[11:11]  ³⁶ tc The marginal reading (Qere) has “officers;” the consonantal text (Kethib) has “the Thirty” (see v. 15).

[11:11]  ³⁷ tn Heb “he was wielding his spear against 300, [who were] slain at one time.”

[6:60]  ³⁸ tn The parallel passage in Josh 21:17 adds “Gibeon and its pasturelands” (cf. NAB, NIV, NCV, NLT). The words “they were allotted” are supplied in the translation for both clarity and stylistic reasons.

[6:62]  ³⁹ tn Heb “and to the sons of Gershom by their clans from the tribe of Issachar, and from the tribe of Asher, and from the tribe of Naphtali, and from the tribe of Manasseh in Bashan, thirteen cities.”

[7:4]  ⁴⁰ 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.”

[10:2]  ⁴¹ tn Heb “stuck close after.”

[10:2]  ⁴² tn Heb “the Philistines.” The translation has substituted the pronoun “they” to avoid redundancy.

[10:2]  ⁴³ tn Heb “his”; the referent (Saul) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[2:9]  ⁴⁴ tn The Hebrew text has “Celubai,” but see v. 18, where Caleb is described as the son of Hezron.

[6:1]  ⁴⁵ sn Beginning with 6:1, the verse numbers through 6:81 in the English Bible differ from the verse numbers in the Hebrew text (BHS), with 6:1 ET = 5:27 HT, 6:2 ET = 5:28 HT, 6:16 ET = 6:1 HT, etc., through 6:81 ET = 6:66 HT. Beginning with 7:1 the verse numbers in the ET and HT are again the same.

[6:16]  ⁴⁶ sn Chapter 6 of 1 Chr begins here in the Hebrew text; 6:16-81 ET = 6:1-66 HT. See the note at 6:1.

[6:16]  ⁴⁷ tn The name “Gershom” (also in vv. 17, 20, 43, 62, 71) appears as “Gershon” in 1 Chr 6:1.

[24:27]  ⁴⁸ tn Or “from Jaaziah his son.” See the note on “Beno” in v. 26.

[2:46]  ⁴⁹ sn See the note on the word “concubine” in 1:32.

[4:12]  ⁵⁰ tn Or “of the city of Nahash.”

[4:15]  ⁵¹ tn Heb “and the sons of Elah and Kenaz.” Kenaz was actually the son of Elah.

[20:8]  ⁵² tn Heb “they fell.”

[20:8]  ⁵³ tn Heb “his servants.”

[12:18]  ⁵⁴ tn Perhaps “the Spirit,” but the text has simply רוּחַ (ruakh) with no article (suggesting an indefinite reference).

[12:18]  ⁵⁵ tn Heb “clothed.”

[12:18]  ⁵⁶ tn The words “and he said” are supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[12:18]  ⁵⁷ tn Heb “are with.”

[12:18]  ⁵⁸ tn Heb “Peace, peace to you.” The Hebrew term שָׁלוֹם (shalom, “peace”) is repeated to emphasize degree.

[12:18]  ⁵⁹ tn Heb “and peace to the one who helps you.”

[12:18]  ⁶⁰ tn Or “for.”

[2:18]  ⁶¹ tn Heb “and Caleb son of Hezron fathered [children] with Azubah, a wife, and with Jerioth.” Jerioth could be viewed as a second wife (so NLT; cf. also NASB, NIV, NRSV), but the following context mentions only “her [presumably Azubah’s] sons.” Another option, the one chosen in the translation, is that Jerioth is another name for Azubah.

[10:12]  ⁶² tn Heb “arose and carried away the corpse of Saul and the corpses of his sons.”

[10:12]  ⁶³ tn Heb “their bones.”

[4:17]  ⁶⁴ 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.”

[6:44]  ⁶⁵ tn Heb “and the sons of Merari, their brothers, on the left.”

[8:40]  ⁶⁶ tn Heb “and the sons of Ulam were men, warriors and treaders of a bow.”

[25:4]  ⁶⁷ tn Heb “belonging to Heman, the sons of Heman.”

[27:1]  ⁶⁸ tn Heb “and the sons of Israel according to their number, heads of the fathers and the commanders of the thousands and the hundreds and their officers who served the king with respect to every matter of the divisions, [that which] comes and goes out month by month according to all the months of the year, one division [was] twenty-four thousand.”
