¹ sn Perhaps this refers to the scattering of the people at Babel (Gen 11:1-9).

² tc Heb “and the sons of Mareshah,” but this does not fit contextually. Perhaps the text originally had וּבְנוֹ מִשְׁנֶה מָרֵשָׁה (uvÿno mishneh mareshah, “and his second son, Mareshah”), with מִשְׁנֶה (“second”) later accidentally falling out by homoioteleuton (cf. the note in BHS here).

³ tn Heb “his”; the referent (Joab) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
