[4:1]  ¹ tn The MT does not specify the subject of the verb here, but the reference is to Ish-bosheth, so the name has been supplied in the translation for clarity. 4QSam^a and the LXX mistakenly read “Mephibosheth.”

[4:1]  ² tn Heb “his hands went slack.”

[6:15]  ³ tc Heb “all the house of Israel.” A few medieval Hebrew mss and the Syriac Peshitta lack the words “the house.”

[6:15]  ⁴ tn Heb “the shophar” (the ram’s horn trumpet).

[16:14]  ⁵ tn Heb “he”; the referent (David) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[16:15]  ⁷ tn Heb “and all the people, the men of Israel.”
