[5:24] 3 tn Heb “men of names.”
[7:2] 3 tn Many English versions spell this name “Ibsam.”
[7:2] 4 tn Many English versions retain a form of this name closer to the Hebrew, i.e., “Shemuel.”
[7:2] 5 tn Heb “heads of the house of their fathers.”
[7:2] 6 tn Heb “to Tola [there were] warriors by their generations, their number in the days of David [was] 22,600.”
