¹ tn Heb “No.”

² tn Heb “I am a woman difficult of spirit.” The LXX has “for whom the day is difficult,” apparently mistaking the Hebrew word for “spirit” רוּחַ (ruakh) to be the word for “day” יוֹם (yom).

³ tn Heb “before.”

⁴ tc Two medieval Hebrew mss, the LXX, and the Syriac Peshitta have the singular “he” (in which case the referent would be Saul alone).

⁵ tn Heb “him”; the referent (Saul) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁷ tn Heb “[was] to.”

⁸ tn The Hebrew text adds here “with his hand.”
