2 Samuel 21:8

21:8 So the king took Armoni and Mephibosheth, the two sons of Aiah’s daughter Rizpah whom she had born to Saul, and the five sons of Saul’s daughter Merab ¹  whom she had born to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite.

2 Samuel 24:22

24:22 Araunah told David, “My lord the king may take whatever he wishes ²  and offer it. Look! Here are oxen for burnt offerings, and threshing sledges ³  and harnesses ⁴  for wood.

[21:8]  ¹ tc The MT reads “Michal” here, but two Hebrew manuscripts read “Merab,” along with some LXX manuscripts. Cf. 1 Sam 18:19.

[24:22]  ² tn Heb “what is good in his eyes.”

[24:22]  ³ sn Threshing sledges were heavy boards used in ancient times for loosening grain from husks. On the bottom sides of these boards sharp stones were embedded, and the boards were then dragged across the grain on a threshing floor by an ox or donkey.

[24:22]  ⁴ tn Heb “the equipment of the oxen.”
