[12:5]  ¹ tn Heb “the man doing this [is] a son of death.” See 1 Sam 20:31 for another use of this expression, which must mean “he is as good as dead” or “he deserves to die,” as 1 Sam 20:32 makes clear.

[13:9]  ¹ tn Heb “from upon me.”

[13:9]  ² tc A few medieval Hebrew mss have “and they removed everyone” (Hiphil preterite with vav consecutive 3cp, rather than Qal preterite with vav consecutive 3cp).

[19:14]  ¹ tn The referent of “he” is not entirely clear: cf. NCV “David”; TEV “David’s words”; NRSV, NLT “Amasa.”

[20:2]  ¹ tn Heb “went up from after.”

[20:2]  ² tn The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation for clarity.
