[21:21]  ¹ tn Heb “nostrils.”

[15:29]  ² tn The Hebrew text adds “in her heart.”

[21:16]  ³ tn Heb “and David and the elders, covered with sackcloth, fell on their faces.”

[12:17]  ⁴ tn Heb “and David went out before them and answered and said to them.”

[12:17]  ⁵ tn Heb “there will be to me concerning you a heart for unity.”

[12:17]  ⁶ tn Heb “with no violence in my hands.”

[12:17]  ⁷ tn Heb “fathers.”

[16:11]  ⁵ tn Heb “face.”

[21:23]  ⁶ tn Heb “take for yourself.”

[21:23]  ⁷ tn Heb “what is good in his eyes.”

[17:17]  ⁷ tn Heb “and this was small in your eyes, O God, so you spoke concerning the house of your servant for a distance.”

[17:17]  ⁸ tn The translation “You have revealed to me what men long to know” is very tentative; the meaning of the Hebrew text is unclear. The text appears to read literally, “and you see me like the searching of man, that which is upward,” which is nonsensical. The translation above assumes the following: (1) The Qal verb translated “you see me” is repointed as a Hiphil, “you showed me,” (2) תּוֹר (tor) is understood in the sense of “searching, exploring,” and (3) הַמַּעֲלָה (hamma’alah) is taken in a temporal sense of “that which lies beyond.” Thus one could translate, “you have shown me what men search for, what lies beyond.”

[11:1]  ⁸ tn Heb “look, your bone and your flesh [are] we.”

[9:26]  ⁹ tn Heb “in the house of God.”

[23:4]  ¹⁰ tn The words “David said” are supplied here in the translation for clarification. The appearance of the first person verb “I supplied” in v. 5 indicates that David is speaking here.

[17:1]  ¹¹ tn Heb “house.”

[17:1]  ¹² tn Heb “David.” The pronoun “he” has been used in the translation here to avoid redundancy in keeping with contemporary English style.

[17:1]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “tent curtains.”

[21:15]  ¹² tn The parallel text of 2 Sam 24:15 reports that God sent a plague, while 24:16-17 attributes this to the instrumentality of an angel.

[21:15]  ¹³ tn Or “destroy.”

[21:15]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “while he was destroying.”

[21:15]  ¹⁵ tn Or “saw.”

[21:15]  ¹⁶ tn Or “was grieved because of.”

[21:15]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “concerning the calamity.”

[21:15]  ¹⁸ tn For this nuance of the Hebrew word רַב (rav), see BDB 913 s.v. 1.f.

[21:15]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “Now, drop your hand.”

[21:15]  ²⁰ tn In the parallel text in 2 Sam 24:16 this individual is called אֲרַוְנָא (’aravna’, “Aravna”), traditionally “Araunah.” The form of the name found here also occurs in vv. 18-28.

[22:9]  ¹³ tn Heb “man of rest.”

[22:9]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “his enemies all around.”

[22:9]  ¹⁵ sn The name Solomon (שְׁלֹמֹה, shÿlomoh) sounds like (and may be derived from) the Hebrew word for “peace” (שָׁלוֹם, shalom).

[22:9]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “in his days.”

[22:14]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “and look, in my affliction [or perhaps, “poverty”] I have supplied for the house of the Lord.”
