[12:11]  ¹ tn Heb “raise up against you disaster.”

[12:11]  ² tn Heb “house” (so NAB, NRSV); NCV, TEV, CEV “family.”

[12:11]  ³ tn Or “friend.”

[12:11]  ⁴ tn Heb “will lie with” (so NIV, NRSV); TEV “will have intercourse with”; CEV, NLT “will go to bed with.”

[12:11]  ⁵ tn Heb “in the eyes of this sun.”

[13:13]  ⁶ tn Heb “and you will be like one of the fools.”

[13:13]  ⁷ tn Heb “Now.”

[19:11]  ⁸ tn Heb “his house.”

[19:11]  ⁹ tc The Hebrew text adds “to his house” (= palace), but the phrase, which also appears earlier in the verse, is probably accidentally repeated here.

[20:15]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “they.” The following context makes it clear that this refers to Joab and his army.

[20:15]  ¹¹ tc The LXX has here ἐνοοῦσαν (enoousan, “were devising”), which apparently presupposes the Hebrew word מַחֲשָׁבִים (makhashavim) rather than the MT מַשְׁחִיתִם (mashkhitim, “were destroying”). With a number of other scholars Driver thinks that the Greek variant may preserve the original reading, but this seems to be an unnecessary conclusion (but see S. R. Driver, Notes on the Hebrew Text and the Topography of the Books of Samuel, 346).
