[14:15]  ¹ tn Heb “go out in battle.”

[14:15]  ² tn Heb “camp.”

[10:3]  ³ tn Heb “heavy.”

[10:3]  ⁴ tn Heb “and they found him, the ones who shoot with the bow, and he was in pain from the ones shooting.”

[11:9]  ⁵ tn Heb “and David went, going and becoming great, and the Lord who commands armies [traditionally, Lord of hosts] was with him.”

[18:3]  ⁷ tn Heb “hand.”

[18:3]  ⁸ tn Heb “when he went to set up his hand at the Euphrates River.” The Hebrew word יָד (yad, “hand”) is usually understood to mean “control” or “dominion” here. However, since יָד does occasionally refer to a monument, perhaps one could translate, “to set up his monument at the Euphrates River” (i.e., as a visible marker of the limits of his dominion). For another example of the Hiphil of נָצַב (natsav) used with יָד (“monument”), see 1 Sam 15:12.

[26:16]  ⁹ tn Heb “a guard alongside a guard.”

[29:15]  ¹¹ tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 18, 20).

[29:15]  ¹² tn Or perhaps “hope.”

[11:22]  ¹³ tc Heb “the two of Ariel, Moab.” The precise meaning of אֲרִיאֵל (’ari’el) is uncertain; some read “warrior.” The present translation assumes that the word is a proper name and that בְּנֵי (bÿney, “sons of”) has accidentally dropped from the text by homoioarcton (note the preceding שְׁנֵי, shÿney).

[12:19]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “fell upon,” here in a good sense.

[12:19]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “and they did not help them for by counsel they sent him away, the lords of the Philistines, saying, ‘With our heads he will fall to his master Saul.’”

[19:2]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “do loyalty.”

[19:2]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “did loyalty.”

[19:2]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “to console him concerning his father.”

[19:2]  ²⁰ tn Heb “and the servants of David came to the land of the sons of Ammon to Hanun to console him.”
