NETBible

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “David.” For stylistic reasons the name has been replaced by the pronoun (“he”) in the translation.

²tn Heb “the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son.” See also v. 13.

³tn Heb “lords.”

⁴tn Heb “stolen.”

⁵tc Against the MT, this word is better read without the definite article. The MT reading is probably here the result of wrong word division, with the letter ה (he) belonging with the preceding word שָׁם (sham) as the he directive (i.e., שָׁמָּה, samah, “to there”).

⁶tn Heb “had hung them.”

⁷tn Heb “in the day.”

⁸tn Heb “Philistines.”
