² tn The Hebrew text adds, “their brothers.”

³ tn Heb “from the sons of Benjamin, the brothers of Saul.”

⁴ tn Heb “and until then, the majority of them were keeping the charge of the house of Saul.”

⁴ tn Heb “men of names for the house of their fathers.”

⁵ tn Heb “warriors, men of battle for war, prepared with shield and spear, and [like] the face of a lion were their faces, and like gazelles on the hills to hurry.”

⁶ tn Heb “If to you [it is] good and from the Lord our God.”

⁷ tn Heb “let us spread and let us send.” The words “the word” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

⁸ tn Heb “in the cities of their pasturelands.”

⁷ tn Heb “that they were a stench [i.e., disgusting] with David.”

⁸ tn The Hebrew word כִּכַּר (kikar, “circle”) refers generally to something that is round. When used of metals it can refer to a disk-shaped weight made of the metal or, by extension, to a standard unit of weight. According to the older (Babylonian) standard the “talent” weighed 130 lbs. (58.9 kg), but later this was lowered to 108.3 lbs. (49.1 kg). More recent research suggests the “light” standard talent was 67.3 lbs. (30.6 kg). Using this as the standard for calculation, the Ammonites hired chariots and charioteers for about 33.7 tons (30,600 kg) of silver.

⁹ tn The parallel text of 2 Sam 10:6 has “Aram Beth Rehob and Aram Zobah.”
