¹ tn Heb “his”; the referent (Judah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

² sn See the note on the word “concubine” in 1:32.

³ tn Heb “and their brothers by the house of their fathers.”

⁴ tn The Hebrew text has the plural “sons,” but only one son is listed.

⁵ tn Heb “and all these men were heads of fathers for the house of their fathers.”

⁶ tn Heb “with all strength.”

⁷ tn Heb “with songs and with zithers [meaning uncertain] and with harps.” Due to the collocation with “harps,” some type of stringed instrument is probably in view.

⁸ tn Or “feared above.”

⁹ tn Heb “to bless his house.” Elsewhere when “house” is the object of “bless,” it refers to a household or family. See, for example, 1 Chr 13:14; 17:27. However, since בֵּית (bet, “house”) refers to a literal house or home earlier in the verse and to David’s palace in 17:1, one might translate here, “David went to pronounce a blessing on [i.e., dedicate] his house [i.e., palace].”

¹⁰ tc The MT reads “Zina” here and “Zizah” in v. 11. One Hebrew ms, the LXX, and the Vulgate, harmonizing the form of the name to that found in v. 11, read “Zizah” here.

¹¹ sn Verses 8-10 are confusing. Two different lists of Shimei’s sons appear. In between these lists is the statement “these were the leaders of the family of Ladan,” suggesting that the list just before this includes the sons of Ladan, not Shimei. But verse 8 already lists Ladan’s sons. Apparently the text as it stands is a conflation of differing traditions.
