NETBible

Now an archer shot an arrow at random, 1  and it struck the king of Israel between the plates of his armor. The king 2  ordered his charioteer, “Turn around and take me from the battle line, 3  because I’m wounded.”

NET Notes

1 tn Heb “now a man drew a bow in his innocence” (i.e., with no specific target in mind, or at least without realizing his target was the king of Israel).

2 tn Heb “he”; the referent (the king) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

3 tn Heb “camp.”
