[2:16]  ¹ tn Heb “to.” So also in vv. 36, 40.

[2:6]  ² tn Heb “to the sons of.” Cf. v. 40.

[2:6]  ³ tc The MT reads יוֹאָב (yo’av, “Joab”). However, syntax demands the reading וְיוֹאָב (vÿyo’av, “and Joab”) which is reflected in the LXX and Syriac.

[8:18]  ³ tn Heb “and Sherebiah.” The words “this man was” are not in the Hebrew text, but have been supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[8:18]  ⁴ tn Or “relatives” (so CEV; NRSV “kin”); also in v. 19.
