[11:20] 1 tc The Syriac reads “thirty” here and at the beginning of v. 21; this reading is followed by some English translations (cf. NAB, NASB, NRSV, NLT).
[11:20] 2 tn Heb “he was wielding his spear against three hundred, [who were] slain.”
[11:20] 3 tn Heb “and to him [reading with the Qere] there was a name among the three.”
[19:10] 4 tc The parallel text of 2 Sam 10:10 has “the Ammonites” in place of “the Arameans” here.
[21:2] 8 tn Heb “Go, count Israel.” See the note on “had” in v. 1.
[21:2] 9 tn Heb “their number.”
[27:24] 13 tn Heb “anger was on Israel.”
[27:24] 14 tc The Hebrew text has “in the number,” but מִסְפַּר (mispar) is probably dittographic – note that the same word appears immediately before this. The form should be emended to בְּסֵפֶר (bÿsefar, “in the scroll”).
