11:16 So as Joab kept watch on the city, he stationed Uriah at the place where he knew the best enemy soldiers 1 were.
15:16 So the king and all the members of his royal court 2 set out on foot, though the king left behind ten concubines 3 to attend to the palace.
1 tn Heb “the valiant men.” This refers in context to the strongest or most valiant defenders of the city Joab and the Israelite army were besieging, so the present translation uses “the best enemy soldiers” for clarity.
2 tn Heb “and all his house.”
3 tn Heb “women, concubines.”
