[3:26] 1 tn Heb “and the king of Moab saw that the battle was too strong for him.”
[3:26] 2 tn Heb “he took with him seven hundred men, who drew the sword, to break through against.”
[14:13] 3 tc The MT has the plural form of the verb, but the final vav (ו) is virtually dittographic. The word that immediately follows in the Hebrew text begins with a yod (י). The form should be emended to the singular, which is consistent in number with the verb (“he broke down”) that follows.
[14:13] 5 tn Heb “four hundred cubits.” The standard cubit in the OT is assumed by most authorities to be about eighteen inches (45 cm) long.
