[29:30]  ¹ tn Heb “with all his reign and his might, and the times which passed over him and over Israel and over all the kingdoms of the lands.”

[11:9]  ² tn Heb “and David went, going and becoming great, and the Lord who commands armies [traditionally, Lord of hosts] was with him.”

[25:8]  ³ tn Heb “and they cast lots [for] service, just as like small, like great, teacher with student.”

[17:7]  ⁴ tn Traditionally, “Lord of hosts.”

[17:7]  ⁵ tn Heb “and from after sheep.”

[17:24]  ⁶ tn Following the imperative in v. 23b, the prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive indicates purpose/result: “so it might become a reality.”

[17:24]  ⁷ tn Heb “so it might be established.”

[17:24]  ⁸ tn Heb “and your name might be great permanently.” Following the imperative in v. 23b, the prefixed verbal form with vav conjunctive indicates purpose/result (parallel to the previous purpose/result clause): “[so]…you might gain lasting fame.”

[17:24]  ⁹ tn Heb “saying.” The words “as people” are supplied in the translation for clarification and for stylistic reasons.

[17:24]  ¹⁰ tc Heb “the Lord who commands armies [traditionally, the Lord of hosts], the God of Israel, Israel’s God.” The phrases אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל (’elohey yisra’el, “God of Israel”) and אֱלֹהִים לְיִשְׂרָאֵל (’elohim lÿyisra’el, “Israel’s God”) are probably alternative readings that have been conflated in the text.

[17:24]  ¹¹ tn Heb “the house of David.”

[22:5]  ¹² tn Heb “a young man and tender.”

[22:5]  ¹³ tn Heb “and the house to build to make exceedingly great for a name and for splendor for all the lands.”

[29:1]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “a young man and tender.”

[16:43]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “to bless his house.” Elsewhere when “house” is the object of “bless,” it refers to a household or family. See, for example, 1 Chr 13:14; 17:27. However, since בֵּית (bet, “house”) refers to a literal house or home earlier in the verse and to David’s palace in 17:1, one might translate here, “David went to pronounce a blessing on [i.e., dedicate] his house [i.e., palace].”

[4:9]  ¹⁶ tn In Hebrew the name יַעְבֵּץ (ya’bets, “Jabez”) sounds like the noun עֹצֶב (’otsev) which means “pain.”

[7:23]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Ephraim) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[7:23]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “because in tragedy there had come to his house.” The preposition prefixed to רָעָה (ra’ah) should probably be omitted. The Hebrew noun רָעָה (“tragedy”) should be understood as the subject of the feminine verb form that follows.

[12:1]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “kept from.”

[4:10]  ²⁰ tn On the use of אִם (’im, “if”) here, see HALOT 60 s.v.

[4:10]  ²¹ tn Heb “and act from [i.e., so as to prevent] harm so that I might not be in pain.”

[4:10]  ²² tn Heb “and God brought about what he had asked.”

[5:18]  ²³ tn Heb “the sons of Reuben and the Gadites and half of the tribe of Manasseh, from the sons of bravery, men carrying a shield and sword and treading a bow and trained for war, 44,760 going out for warfare.”

[12:8]  ²⁴ tn Heb “warriors, men of battle for war, prepared with shield and spear, and [like] the face of a lion were their faces, and like gazelles on the hills to hurry.”

[19:16]  ²⁵ tn Heb “the River,” referring to the Euphrates. This has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[19:16]  ²⁶ tn Heb “and Aram saw that they were struck down before Israel and they sent messengers and brought out Aram which is beyond the River, and Shophach the commander of the army of Hadadezer [was] before them.”
