1 Samuel 13:5

1 Samuel 13:23

Jonathan Ignites a Battle

13:23 A garrison of the Philistines had gone out to the pass at Micmash.

Isaiah 10:28

10:28 ² They ³  attacked ⁴  Aiath,

moved through Migron,

depositing their supplies at Micmash.

[13:5]  ¹ tn Many English versions (e.g., KJV, NASB, NRSV, TEV) read “30,000” here.

[10:28]  ² sn Verses 28-31 display a staccato style; the statements are short and disconnected (no conjunctions appear in the Hebrew text). The translation to follow strives for a choppy style that reflects the mood of the speech.

[10:28]  ³ tn Heb “he,” that is, the Assyrians (as the preceding context suggests). Cf. NCV “The army of Assyria.”

[10:28]  ⁴ tn Heb “came against,” or “came to.”
