[13:34]  ¹ tn Heb “behind him.”

[16:13]  ¹ tn Heb “and he cursed and threw stones, opposite him, pelting [them] with dirt.” The offline vÿqatal construction in the last clause indicates an action that was complementary to the action described in the preceding clause. He simultaneously threw stones and dirt.

[18:23]  ¹ tn The words “but he said” are not in the Hebrew text. They are supplied in the translation for clarity.

[18:23]  ² tn Heb “he”; the referent (Joab) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
