[17:1]  ⁴ tn Heb “tent curtains.”

[13:3]  ¹ tn Heb “to us.”

[13:3]  ² tn Heb “him.” In this case, seeking God’s will is what is implied.

[25:1]  ¹ tn Heb “David and the officers of the army set apart for service the sons of Asaph and Heman and Jeduthun, the ones prophesying by harps, by lyres, and by cymbals.”

[11:11]  ¹ tn Heb “and these are the number of the warriors who were David’s.”
