30:17 But David struck them down from twilight until the following evening. None of them escaped, with the exception of four hundred young men who got away on camels. ¹¹ 

[1:9]  ¹ tc The LXX adds “and stood before the Lord,” but this is probably a textual expansion due to the terseness of the statement in the Hebrew text.

[1:9]  ² tn Or perhaps, “on his throne.” See Joüon 2:506-7 §137.f.

[12:11]  ³ sn Jerub-Baal (יְרֻבַּעַל) is also known as Gideon (see Judg 6:32). The Book of Judges uses both names for him.

[12:11]  ⁴ tc The MT has “Bedan” (בְּדָן) here (cf. KJV, NASB, CEV). But a deliverer by this name is not elsewhere mentioned in the OT. The translation follows the LXX and the Syriac Peshitta in reading “Barak.”

[12:11]  ⁵ tc In the ancient versions there is some confusion with regard to these names, both with regard to the particular names selected for mention and with regard to the order in which they are listed. For example, the LXX has “Jerub-Baal, Barak, Jephthah, and Samuel.” But the Targum has “Gideon, Samson, Jephthah, and Samuel,” while the Syriac Peshitta has “Deborah, Barak, Gideon, Jephthah, and Samson.”

[14:13]  ⁵ tn Heb “and they fell before Jonathan.”

[14:13]  ⁶ tn Heb “and the one carrying his equipment was killing after him.”

[20:19]  ⁷ tc Heb “you will do [something] a third time.” The translation assumes an emendation of the verb from שִׁלַּשְׁתָּ (shillashta, “to do a third time”) to שִׁלִּישִׁית (shillishit, “[on the] third [day]”).

[20:19]  ⁸ tn Heb “you must go down greatly.” See Judg 19:11 for the same idiom.

[20:19]  ⁹ tn Heb “on the day of the deed.” This probably refers to the incident recorded in 19:2.

[30:17]  ⁹ tn Heb “who rode on camels and fled.”
