tn Heb “it was good in the eyes of all the people and also in the eyes of the servants of Saul.”

tc The MT lacks the conjunction, reading the first word in the phrase as a construct (“wisdom of insight”). While this reading is not impossible, it seems better to follow Theodotion, the Syriac, the Vulgate, and the Sahidic Coptic, all of which have the conjunction.

tn Heb “hands.”

tn Grk “a mouth.” It is a metonymy and refers to the reply the Lord will give to them.

tn Grk “and wisdom.”
