[18:4]  ¹ tn Or “horsemen.”

[18:4]  ² tn Heb “his”; the referent (Hadadezer) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[18:4]  ³ tn Heb “and David cut the hamstrings of all the chariot horses, and he left from them one hundred chariot horses.”

[2:55]  ⁴ tn Or perhaps “the Sopherim.” The NAB transliterates this term and treats it as a proper name.

[2:55]  ⁵ tn Heb “came.”

[2:55]  ⁶ tn Or (if בֵּית [beth] is translated as “house” rather than considered to be part of the name) “the father of the house [i.e., family] of Rechab.”

[19:6]  ⁷ tn Heb “that they were a stench [i.e., disgusting] with David.”

[19:6]  ⁸ tn The Hebrew word כִּכַּר (kikar, “circle”) refers generally to something that is round. When used of metals it can refer to a disk-shaped weight made of the metal or, by extension, to a standard unit of weight. According to the older (Babylonian) standard the “talent” weighed 130 lbs. (58.9 kg), but later this was lowered to 108.3 lbs. (49.1 kg). More recent research suggests the “light” standard talent was 67.3 lbs. (30.6 kg). Using this as the standard for calculation, the Ammonites hired chariots and charioteers for about 33.7 tons (30,600 kg) of silver.

[19:18]  ¹⁰ tc The parallel text of 2 Sam 10:18 has “seven hundred.”

[19:18]  ¹¹ tn The parallel text of 2 Sam 10:18 has the variant spelling “Shobach.”
