7:2 The sons of Tola:

1 tn The Hebrew text reads “their tents,” apparently referring to those of the Hamites mentioned at the end of v. 40. Some prefer to emend the text to read, “the tents of Ham.”
2 tn Heb “and they lived in place of them.”
3 tn Many English versions spell this name “Ibsam.”
4 tn Many English versions retain a form of this name closer to the Hebrew, i.e., “Shemuel.”
5 tn Heb “heads of the house of their fathers.”
6 tn Heb “to Tola [there were] warriors by their generations, their number in the days of David [was] 22,600.”
