[3:24]  ¹ tn Heb “Look, Abner.”

[3:24]  ² tc The LXX adds “in peace.”

[3:34]  ³ tc The translation follows many medieval Hebrew manuscripts and several ancient versions in reading “your hands,” rather than “your hand.”

[3:34]  ⁴ tc 4QSam^a lacks the words “all the people.”

[19:10]  ⁵ tn Heb “over us.”

[19:10]  ⁶ tc The LXX includes the following words at the end of v. 11: “And what all Israel was saying came to the king’s attention.” The words are misplaced in the LXX from v. 12 (although the same statement appears there in the LXX as well).

[19:39]  ⁷ tn Heb “to his place.”
