Salutation

1:1 From Paul, ¹⁸  an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

[18:6]  ¹ tc Heb “and David placed in Aram of Damascus.” The object נְצִיבִים (nÿtsivim, “garrisons”) appears to have been accidentally omitted from the text. See v. 13, as well as the parallel passage in 2 Sam 8:6, which includes it.

[18:6]  ² tn Or “delivered.”

[18:6]  ³ tn Or “wherever he went.”

[18:1]  ⁴ tn 2 Sam 8:1 identifies this region as “Metheg Ammah.”

[18:1]  ⁵ tn Heb “from the hand of the Philistines.” Here “hand” is figurative language for “control.”

[13:3]  ⁶ tn Heb “to us.”

[13:3]  ⁷ tn Heb “him.” In this case, seeking God’s will is what is implied.

[13:3]  ⁸ tn Heb “in the days of Saul.”

[14:1]  ⁹ map For location see Map1 A2; Map2 G2; Map4 A1; JP3 F3; JP4 F3.

[14:1]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “craftsman of a wall,” that is, masons skilled at building stone walls.

[14:2]  ¹¹ tn Heb “was lifted upwards.”

[7:14]  ¹² sn See the note on the word “concubine” in 1:32.

[7:15]  ¹³ tn Some translations treat the terms שֻׁפִּים (shuppim) and חֻפִּים (khuppim) as proper names of individuals (“Huppim” and “Shuppim”), but others consider these forms to be plurals and refer to tribal or clan names.

[7:15]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “and the name of the second was Zelophehad.”

[7:17]  ¹⁵ tn The Hebrew text has the plural “sons,” but only one son is listed.

[23:14]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “and Moses the man of God, his sons were called to the tribe of Levi.”

[23:2]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “he”; the referent (David) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[1:1]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “Paul.” The word “from” is not in the Greek text, but has been supplied to indicate the sender of the letter.
