1 Samuel 29:8

tn Heb “according to all the deeds which they have done.”

tn Heb “he”; the referent (Jonathan) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

tc The translation follows the Qere, many medieval Hebrew mss, and the ancient versions in reading “he will not do,” rather than the Kethib of the MT (“do to him”).

tn Heb “without uncovering my ear.”
