1 Samuel 9:22

9:22 Then Samuel brought ¹  Saul and his servant into the room and gave them a place at the head of those who had been invited. There were about thirty people present.

1 Samuel 20:25

20:25 The king sat down in his usual place by the wall, with Jonathan opposite him ²  and Abner at his side. ³  But David’s place was vacant.

1 Samuel 20:37

20:37 When the servant came to the place where Jonathan had shot the arrow, Jonathan called out to ⁴  the servant, “Isn’t the arrow further beyond you?”

¹ tn Heb “took and brought.”

² tc Heb “and Jonathan arose.” Instead of MT’s וַיָּקָם (vayyaqam, “and he arose”; from the hollow verbal root קוּם, qum), the translation assumes a reading וַיִּקַדֵּם (vayyiqaddem, “and he was in front of”; from the verbal root קדם, qdm). See P. K. McCarter, I Samuel (AB), 338.

³ tn Heb “and Abner sat at the side of Saul.”

³ tn Heb “called after” (also in v. 38).
