1 Samuel 20:12

[9:16]  ¹ tn Heb “anoint.”

[19:11]  ² tn Heb “your life.”

[20:5]  ³ tn Heb “and I must surely sit with the king to eat.” The infinitive absolute appears before the finite verb for emphasis.

[20:12]  ⁴ tc The Hebrew text has simply “the Lord God of Israel.” On the basis of the Syriac version, many reconstruct the text to read “[is] my witness,” which may have fallen out of the text by homoioarcton (an error which is entirely possible if עֵד, ’ed, “witness,” immediately followed ַָדוִד, “David,” in the original text).

[20:12]  ⁵ tn Heb “and uncover your ear.”
