1 Samuel 29:7

29:7 So turn and leave ¹  in peace. You must not do anything that the leaders of the Philistines consider improper!” ² 

1 Samuel 17:28

17:28 When David’s ³  oldest brother Eliab heard him speaking to the men, he became angry ⁴  with David and said, “Why have you come down here? To whom did you entrust those few sheep in the desert? I am familiar with your pride and deceit! ⁵  You have come down here to watch the battle!”

1 Samuel 30:22

30:22 But all the evil and worthless men among those who had gone with David said, “Since they didn’t go with us, ⁶  we won’t give them any of the loot we retrieved! They may take only their wives and children. Let them lead them away and be gone!”

[29:7]  ¹ tn Heb “go.”

[29:7]  ² tn Heb “and you must not do evil in the eyes of the leaders of the Philistines.”

[17:28]  ³ tn Heb “his”; the referent (David) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[17:28]  ⁴ tn Heb “the anger of Eliab became hot.”

[17:28]  ⁵ tn Heb “the wickedness of your heart.”

[30:22]  ⁵ tc Heb “with me.” The singular is used rather than the plural because the group is being treated as a singular entity, in keeping with Hebrew idiom. It is not necessary to read “with us,” rather than the MT “with me,” although the plural can be found here in a few medieval Hebrew mss. See also the LXX, Syriac Peshitta, and Vulgate, although these versions may simply reflect an understanding of the idiom as found in the MT rather than a different textual reading.
