Judges 3:21

3:21 Ehud reached with his left hand, pulled the sword from his right thigh, and drove it into Eglon’s ¹  belly.

Judges 10:9

10:9 The Ammonites crossed the Jordan to fight with Judah, Benjamin, and Ephraim. ²  Israel suffered greatly. ³ 

Judges 20:43

20:43 They surrounded the Benjaminites, chased them from Nohah, ⁴  and annihilated ⁵  them all the way to a spot east of Geba. ⁶ 

[3:21]  ¹ tn Heb “his”; the referent (Eglon) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[10:9]  ² tn Heb “the house of Ephraim.”

[10:9]  ³ tn Or “Israel experienced great distress.” Perhaps here the verb has the nuance “hemmed in.”

[20:43]  ³ tc The translation assumes the reading מִנּוֹחָה (minnokhah, “from Nohah”; cf. 1 Chr 8:2) rather than the MT’s מְנוּחָה (mÿnukhah, “resting place”).

[20:43]  ⁴ tn Heb “tread down, walk on.”

[20:43]  ⁵ tn Heb “unto the opposite of Gibeah toward the east.” Gibeah cannot be correct here, since the Benjaminites retreated from there toward the desert and Rimmon (see v. 45). A slight emendation yields the reading “Geba.”
