[11:13]  ¹ tc Some read here “Ephes Dammim.” See 1 Sam 17:1.

[17:6]  ² tn In the Hebrew text the statement is phrased as a rhetorical question (“Did I say?”) meaning “I did not say.”

[17:6]  ³ tn Heb “to one of the judges of Israel whom I commanded to shepherd my people.”

[17:7]  ³ tn Traditionally, “Lord of hosts.”

[17:7]  ⁴ tn Heb “and from after sheep.”

[21:2]  ⁶ tn Heb “their number.”

[21:3]  ⁵ tn Or “people.”

[21:3]  ⁶ tn Heb “Why should it become guilt for Israel?” David’s decision betrays an underlying trust in his own strength rather than in divine provision. See also 1 Chr 27:23-24.

[21:5]  ⁶ tn Heb “and Joab gave to David the number of the numbering of the army [or “people”].”

[21:5]  ⁷ tn Heb “a thousand thousands and one hundred thousand.”

[21:5]  ⁸ tc The parallel text in 2 Sam 24:9 has variant figures: “In Israel there were eight hundred thousand sword-wielding warriors, and in Judah there were five hundred thousands soldiers.”

[21:22]  ⁷ tn Heb “the place of the threshing floor.”

[21:22]  ⁸ tn Following the imperative, the prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive here indicates the immediate purpose/result: “so I can build.”

[21:22]  ¹⁰ tn Following the imperative and first person prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive, this third person prefixed verbal form with vav conjunctive introduces the ultimate purpose/result: “so the plague may be removed.” Another option is subordinate this form to the preceding imperative, but the latter may be taken as a parenthetical expansion of the initial request.

[22:18]  ⁸ tn The words “he told them” are added in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[22:18]  ⁹ tn In the Hebrew text the statement is phrased as a rhetorical question, “Is not the Lord your God with you?” The question anticipates the response, “Of course he is!” Thus in the translation the positive statement “The Lord your God is with you!” has been used.
