NET Notes

¹tn The antecedent of the pronoun “them” (which is not present in the Hebrew text, but implied) is not entirely clear. Presumably it is the corpses that were hung and not merely the detached hands and feet; cf. NIV “hung the (their NRSV, NLT) bodies”; the alternative is represented by TEV “cut off their hands and feet, which they hung up.”

²tc 4QSam^a mistakenly reads “Mephibosheth” here.

³tc The LXX adds “the son of Ner” by conformity with common phraseology elsewhere.

⁴tc Some mss of the LXX lack the phrase “in Hebron.”
