[13:4]  ¹ tn Heb “all the assembly said to do so.”

[13:4]  ² tn Heb “for right was the word in the eyes of all the people.”

[19:13]  ³ tn Heb “and the Lord, what is good in his eyes, he will do.”

[21:7]  ⁵ tn Heb “There was displeasure in the eyes of God concerning this thing.”

[17:17]  ⁷ tn Heb “and this was small in your eyes, O God, so you spoke concerning the house of your servant for a distance.”

[17:17]  ⁸ tn The translation “You have revealed to me what men long to know” is very tentative; the meaning of the Hebrew text is unclear. The text appears to read literally, “and you see me like the searching of man, that which is upward,” which is nonsensical. The translation above assumes the following: (1) The Qal verb translated “you see me” is repointed as a Hiphil, “you showed me,” (2) תּוֹר (tor) is understood in the sense of “searching, exploring,” and (3) הַמַּעֲלָה (hamma’alah) is taken in a temporal sense of “that which lies beyond.” Thus one could translate, “you have shown me what men search for, what lies beyond.”

[29:10]  ⁹ tn Heb “assembly, and David said.” The words “and David said” are redundant according to contemporary English style and have not been included in the translation.

[2:3]  ¹¹ tn The name means “daughter of Shua.” Shua is identified in Gen 38:2 as a “Canaanite man.”

[2:3]  ¹² tn Heb “was evil in the eyes of the Lord, so he [i.e., the Lord] killed him [i.e., Er].”

[19:3]  ¹³ tn Heb “Is David honoring your father in your eyes when he sends to you ones consoling?”

[19:3]  ¹⁴ tc Heb “Is it not to explore and to overturn and to spy out the land (that) his servants have come to you?” The Hebrew term לַהֲפֹךְ (lahafakh, “to overturn”) seems misplaced in the sequence. Some emend the form to לַחְפֹּר (lakhpor, “to spy out”). The sequence of three infinitives may be a conflation of alternative readings.

[21:16]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “and David and the elders, covered with sackcloth, fell on their faces.”

[21:23]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “take for yourself.”

[21:23]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “what is good in his eyes.”

[28:8]  ¹⁹ tn The words “I say this” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[28:8]  ²⁰ tn Heb “Watch! Seek!”

[29:25]  ²¹ tn Heb “and gave to him glory of kingship which there was not concerning every king before him over Israel.”
