[6:7]  ¹ tn Heb “and the anger of the Lord burned against Uzzah.”

[6:7]  ² tn Heb “God.”

[6:7]  ³ tc Heb “there.” Since this same term occurs later in the verse it is translated “on the spot” here for stylistic reasons.

[6:7]  ⁴ tc The phrase “his negligence” is absent from the LXX.

[6:4]  ⁵ tn Heb “lifted.”

[6:12]  ⁹ tn Heb “and it was told to David, saying.”

[15:24]  ¹³ tn Heb “crossing from.”

[2:27]  ¹⁷ tn The Hebrew verb נַעֲלָה (na’alah) used here is the Niphal perfect 3rd person masculine singular of עָלָה (’alah, “to go up”). In the Niphal this verb “is used idiomatically, of getting away from so as to abandon…especially of an army raising a siege…” (see S. R. Driver, Notes on the Hebrew Text and the Topography of the Books of Samuel, 244).

[6:6]  ²¹ tn 1 Chr 13:9 has “Kidon.”

[6:6]  ²² tn Or “steadied.”

[6:6]  ²³ tn Heb “and Uzzah reached out toward the ark of God and grabbed it.”

[7:28]  ²⁵ tn Heb “the God.” The article indicates uniqueness here.

[7:28]  ²⁶ tn The translation understands the prefixed verb form as a jussive, indicating David’s wish/prayer. Another option is to take the form as an imperfect and translate “your words are true.”

[7:28]  ²⁷ tn Heb “and you have spoken to your servant this good thing.”

[12:16]  ²⁹ tn Heb “sought” or “searched for.”

[12:16]  ³⁰ tn Heb “and David fasted.”

[12:16]  ³¹ tn The three Hebrew verbs that follow in this verse are perfects with prefixed vav. They may describe repeated past actions or actions which accompanied David’s praying and fasting.

[19:27]  ³³ tn Heb “and he”; the referent (the servant) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[19:27]  ³⁴ tn Heb “your servant.”

[6:2]  ³⁷ tn Heb “arose and went.”

[6:2]  ³⁸ tn Heb “from,” but the following context indicates they traveled to this location.

[6:2]  ³⁹ tn This is another name for Kiriath-jearim (see 1 Chr 13:6).

[6:2]  ⁴⁰ tc The MT has here a double reference to the name (שֵׁם שֵׁם, shem shem). Many medieval Hebrew mss in the first occurrence point the word differently and read the adverb שָׁם (sham, “there”). This is also the understanding of the Syriac Peshitta (Syr., taman). While this yields an acceptable understanding to the text, it is more likely that the MT dittographic here. The present translation therefore reads שֵׁם only once.

[14:20]  ⁴¹ tn Heb “to know all that is in the land.”

[16:23]  ⁴⁵ tn Heb “And the advice of Ahithophel which he advised in those days was as when one inquires of the word of God.”

[16:23]  ⁴⁶ tn Heb “So was all the advice of Ahithophel, also to David, also to Absalom.”
