1 Chronicles 14:11

14:11 So they marched against Baal Perazim and David defeated them there. David said, “Using me as his instrument, ¹  God has burst out against my enemies like water bursts out.” So that place is called Baal Perazim. ² 

1 Chronicles 20:3

20:3 He removed the city’s residents and made them do hard labor with saws, iron picks, and axes. ³  This was his policy ⁴  with all the Ammonite cities. Then David and all the army returned to Jerusalem.

[14:11]  ¹ tn Heb “by my hand.”

[14:11]  ² sn The name Baal Perazim means “Lord of outbursts” in Hebrew.

[20:3]  ³ tc The Hebrew text reads “saws,” but since saws were just mentioned, it is preferable to emend מְגֵרוֹת (mÿgerot, “saws”) to מַגְזְרוֹת (magzÿrot, “axes”).

[20:3]  ⁴ tn Heb “and so he would do.”
