Battles with the Philistines

[17:5]  ¹ tn The words “from Egypt” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[17:5]  ² tc Heb “and I was from tent to tent and from tabernacle.” The words אֶל־מִשְּׁכָּן (’el-mishÿkan, “to tabernacle”) should probably be added at the end of the sentence to complete this prepositional phrase and produce symmetry with the preceding prepositional phrase. The words probably fell from the text by homoioteleuton.

[20:4]  ³ tn Heb “battle stood.”

[20:4]  ⁴ tn The parallel text in 2 Sam 21:18 identifies this site as “Gob.”

[20:4]  ⁵ tn The parallel text in 2 Sam 21:18 has the variant spelling “Saph.”

[20:4]  ⁶ tn Heb “they”; the referent (the Philistines) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
