[4:13]  ¹ tn Heb “Sisera.” The proper name has been replaced by the pronoun (“he”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[4:13]  ² tn Or “summoned.”

[7:1]  ³ tn Heb “and all the people who were with him.”

[7:1]  ⁴ sn The name Harod means, ironically, “trembling.”

Consequently some prefer to see this statement as displaced and move it to v. 25 (see C. F. Burney, Judges, 387). It seems more likely that the pronoun refers to an image of Dagon.
