[4:10]  ¹ tn On the use of אִם (’im, “if”) here, see HALOT 60 s.v.

[4:10]  ² tn Heb “and act from [i.e., so as to prevent] harm so that I might not be in pain.”

[4:10]  ³ tn Heb “and God brought about what he had asked.”

[11:13]  ⁴ tc Some read here “Ephes Dammim.” See 1 Sam 17:1.

[13:2]  ⁷ tn Heb “If to you [it is] good and from the Lord our God.”

[13:2]  ⁸ tn Heb “let us spread and let us send.” The words “the word” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[13:2]  ⁹ tn Heb “in the cities of their pasturelands.”

[15:18]  ¹⁰ tc The Hebrew text adds בֶּן (ben, “son”) here; the word is omitted in three Hebrew mss and most LXX mss. If the word is original, perhaps the name of Zechariah’s father was accidentally omitted. Some English versions treat the word as an additional name in the list (“Ben”; e.g., KJV, ASV, NASB).

[18:11]  ¹³ tn Heb “also them King David made holy to the Lord.”

[18:11]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “from.”

[18:11]  ¹⁵ tc The parallel text of 2 Sam 8:12 of the MT reads “Aram.” However, a few Hebrew mss along with the LXX and Syriac of 2 Sam 8:12 read “Edom” in agreement with 1 Chr 18:11 (cf. 2 Sam 8:14).

[19:6]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “that they were a stench [i.e., disgusting] with David.”

[19:6]  ¹⁷ 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.

[19:6]  ¹⁸ tn The parallel text of 2 Sam 10:6 has “Aram Beth Rehob and Aram Zobah.”

[19:17]  ¹⁹ tn The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[19:17]  ²⁰ tc The parallel text of 2 Sam 10:17 “he came to Helam.”

[19:17]  ²¹ tn Heb “and David was deployed to meet Aram [for] battle and they fought with him.”

[21:15]  ²² 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]  ²³ tn Or “destroy.”

[21:15]  ²⁴ tn Heb “while he was destroying.”

[21:15]  ²⁵ tn Or “saw.”

[21:15]  ²⁶ tn Or “was grieved because of.”

[21:15]  ²⁷ tn Heb “concerning the calamity.”

[21:15]  ²⁸ tn For this nuance of the Hebrew word רַב (rav), see BDB 913 s.v. 1.f.

[21:15]  ²⁹ tn Heb “Now, drop your hand.”

[21:15]  ³⁰ 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.

[22:18]  ²⁵ tn The words “he told them” are added in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[22:18]  ²⁶ tn In the Hebrew text the statement is phrased as a rhetorical question, “Is not the Lord your God with you?” The question anticipates the response, “Of course he is!” Thus in the translation the positive statement “The Lord your God is with you!” has been used.

[22:18]  ²⁷ tn Heb “and he gives rest to you all around.”

[22:18]  ²⁸ tn Or “earth.”

[22:18]  ²⁹ tn Or “earth.”

[28:2]  ²⁸ tn Heb “I, with my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the Lord and for a stool of the feet of our God.”

[28:20]  ³¹ tn Or perhaps, “don’t be discouraged.”

[28:21]  ³⁴ tn Heb “and with you in all work, for every willing [one] in skill for all service.”

[28:21]  ³⁵ tn Heb “and the officials and all the people to all your words.”
