[1:8]  1 tn Heb “why is your heart displeased?”

[1:8]  2 sn Like the number seven, the number ten is sometimes used in the OT as an ideal number (see, for example, Dan 1:20, Zech 8:23).

[1:11]  3 tn Heb “if looking you look.” The expression can refer, as here, to looking favorably upon another, in this case with compassion.

[1:11]  4 tn Heb “handmaid.” The use of this term (translated two more times in this verse and once each in vv. 16, 17 simply as “servant” for stylistic reasons) is an expression of humility.

[1:11]  5 tn Heb “seed of men.”

[1:11]  6 tn Heb “a razor will not go up upon his head.”

[13:14]  5 tn This verb form, as well as the one that follows (“appointed”), indicates completed action from the standpoint of the speaker. This does not necessarily mean that the Lord had already conducted his search and made his choice, however. The forms may be used for rhetorical effect to emphasize the certainty of the action. The divine search for a new king is as good as done, emphasizing that the days of Saul’s dynasty are numbered.

[13:14]  6 tn Heb “according to his heart.” The idiomatic expression means to be like-minded with another, as its use in 1 Sam 14:7 indicates.

[13:14]  7 tn Heb “commanded.”

[20:2]  7 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Jonathan) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[20:2]  8 tc The translation follows the Qere, many medieval Hebrew mss, and the ancient versions in reading “he will not do,” rather than the Kethib of the MT (“do to him”).

[20:2]  9 tn Heb “without uncovering my ear.”

[26:16]  9 tn Heb “Not good [is] this thing which you have done.”

[26:16]  10 tn Heb “you are sons of death.”

[28:18]  11 tn Heb “listen to the voice of the Lord.”

[28:20]  13 tn Heb “also there was no strength in him.”

[28:20]  14 tn Heb “food.”

[30:12]  15 tn Heb “his spirit returned to him.”
