[17:40]  1 tn This Hebrew word occurs only here and its exact meaning is not entirely clear. It refers to a receptacle of some sort and apparently was a common part of a shepherd’s equipment. Here it serves as a depository for the stones that David will use in his sling.

[17:50]  2 tc Most LXX mss lack v. 50.

[17:50]  3 tn Verse 50 is a summary statement; v. 51 gives a more detailed account of how David killed the Philistine.

[25:29]  4 tn Cf. KJV, NAB, NIV, NRSV “bundle”; NLT “treasure pouch.”

[25:2]  5 tn Heb “great.”
