You will bring its produce 7  and it will be 8  food for your master’s grandson to eat. 9  But Mephibosheth, your master’s grandson, will be a regular guest at my table.” (Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.)

9:11 Ziba said to the king, “Your servant will do everything that my lord the king has instructed his servant to do.” So Mephibosheth was a regular guest 10  at David’s table, 11  just as though he were one of the king’s sons.

[7:27]  1 tn Heb “have uncovered the ear of.”

[7:27]  2 tn Heb “a house.” This maintains the wordplay from v. 11 (see the note on the word “house” there) and is continued in v. 29.

[7:27]  3 tn Heb “has found his heart.”

[7:29]  4 tn Heb “house” (again later in this verse). See the note on “dynastic house” in v. 27.

[7:29]  5 tn Or “permanently”; cf. NLT “it is an eternal blessing.”

[9:10]  7 tn Heb “work.”

[9:10]  8 tn The Hebrew text implies, but does not actually contain, the words “its produce” here.

[9:10]  9 tc The words “it will be,” though present in the MT, are absent from the LXX, the Syriac Peshitta, and Vulgate.

[9:10]  10 tn Heb “and he will eat it.”

[9:11]  10 tn Heb “eating.”

[9:11]  11 tc Heb “my table.” But the first person reference to David is awkward here since the quotation of David’s words has already been concluded in v. 10; nor does the “my” refer to Ziba, since the latter part of v. 11 does not seem to be part of Ziba’s response to the king. The ancient versions are not unanimous in the way that they render the phrase. The LXX has “the table of David” (τῆς τραπέζης Δαυιδ, th" trapezh" Dauid); the Syriac Peshitta has “the table of the king” (patureh demalka’); the Vulgate has “your table” (mensam tuam). The present translation follows the LXX.

[10:2]  13 tn Heb “do loyalty.”

[10:2]  14 tn Heb “did loyalty.”

[10:2]  15 tn Heb “and David sent to console him by the hand of his servants concerning his father.”

[14:22]  16 tn Heb “blessed.”

[14:22]  17 tc The present translation reads with the Qere “your” rather than the MT “his.”

[14:30]  19 tc The LXX adds here the following words: “And the servants of Absalom burned them up. And the servants of Joab came to him, rending their garments. They said….”

[14:30]  20 tn The word “Joab’s” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[19:37]  22 tn Heb “your servant.”
