NET Notes

¹tc The translation follows the Qere and several medieval Hebrew mss in reading לָנוּ (lanu, “to us”) rather than the MT לִי (li, “to me”). But for a contrary opinion see S. R. Driver, Notes on the Hebrew Text and the Topography of the Books of Samuel, 53, 350.

²tn Heb “house.”

³tn Heb “and he said”; the referent (David) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
