[15:27]  ¹ tn Heb “he,” but Saul is clearly the referent. A Qumran ms and the LXX include the name “Saul” here.

[17:39]  ² tn Heb “he had not tested.”

[10:9]  ³ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Saul) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[10:9]  ⁴ tn Heb “turned his shoulder.”

[10:9]  ⁵ tn Heb “God turned for him another heart”; NAB, NRSV “gave him another heart”; NIV, NCV “changed Saul’s heart”; TEV “gave Saul a new nature”; CEV “made Saul feel like a different person.”

[29:11]  ⁴ tc Heb “to go in the morning to return.” With the exception of Origen and the Lucianic recension, the Old Greek tradition lacks the phrase “in the morning.” The Syriac Peshitta also omits it.
