[21:5]  1 tn Heb “and Joab gave to David the number of the numbering of the army [or “people”].”

[21:5]  2 tn Heb “a thousand thousands and one hundred thousand.”

[21:5]  3 tc The parallel text in 2 Sam 24:9 has variant figures: “In Israel there were eight hundred thousand sword-wielding warriors, and in Judah there were five hundred thousands soldiers.”

[21:6]  4 tn Heb “he”; the proper name (“Joab”) has been substituted for the pronoun here for stylistic reasons; the proper name occurs at the end of the verse in the Hebrew text, where it has been replaced by the pronoun (“him”) in the translation.
