1 Chronicles 4:39

4:39 They went to the entrance of Gedor, to the east of the valley, looking for pasture for their sheep.

1 Chronicles 16:43

16:43 Then all the people returned to their homes, and David went to pronounce a blessing on his family. ¹ 

1 Chronicles 19:5

19:5 Messengers ²  came and told David what had happened to the men, so he summoned them, for the men were thoroughly humiliated. The king said, “Stay in Jericho ³  until your beards grow again; then you may come back.”

¹ 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].”

¹ tn Heb “they.” The logical referent, though not specified in the Hebrew text, has been supplied in the translation for clarity.
