NET Notes

¹tc Codex Leningrad (B19A), on which BHS is based, has here “messengers” (הַמַּלְאכִים, hammal’khim), probably as the result of contamination from the occurrence of that word in v. 4. The present translation follows most Hebrew mss and the ancient versions, which read “kings” (הַמֶּלָאכִים, hammela’kim).

²tn Heb “go out.”

³tn Heb “and his servants with him.”

⁴tn Heb “all Israel.”

⁵tn The disjunctive clause contrasts David’s inactivity with the army’s activity.
