The People Contribute to the Project

tc Heb “the two of Ariel, Moab.” The precise meaning of אֲרִיאֵל (’ariel) is uncertain; some read “warrior.” The present translation assumes that the word is a proper name and that בְּנֵי (bÿney, “sons of”) has accidentally dropped from the text by homoioarcton (note the preceding שְׁנֵי, shÿney).

tn Heb “kept from.”

sn The one who ruled before you is a reference to Saul, from whom the kingdom was taken and given to David.

tc The Hebrew text reads, “Elchanan son of Jair killed Lachmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite.” But it is likely that the accusative marker in front of לַחְמִי (lakhmiy, “Lachmi”) is a corruption of בֵּית (bet), and that אֶת־לַחְמִי (’et-lakhmiy) should be emended to בֵּית הַלַּחְמִי (bet hallakhmiy, “the Bethlehemite”). See 2 Sam 21:19.

tc See tc note on the parallel passage in 2 Sam 21:19.

tn Heb “man of rest.”

tn Heb “his enemies all around.”

sn The name Solomon (שְׁלֹמֹה, shÿlomoh) sounds like (and may be derived from) the Hebrew word for “peace” (שָׁלוֹם, shalom).

tn Heb “in his days.”

10 tn Heb “for my name.”

11 tn Heb “and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel permanently.”

12 tc Heb “The first lot went to Asaph, to Joseph.” Apparently the recurring formula, “and his sons and his relatives, twelve” has been accidentally omitted from the Hebrew text at this point (see vv. 10-31; the formula is slightly different in v. 9b). If the number “twelve” is not supplied here, the total comes to only 276, not the 288 required by v. 7.

13 tn “Shelemiah” is a variant of the name “Meshelemiah” (cf. 26:2).

14 tn Heb “anger was on Israel.”

15 tc The Hebrew text has “in the number,” but מִסְפַּר (mispar) is probably dittographic – note that the same word appears immediately before this. The form should be emended to בְּסֵפֶר (bÿsefar, “in the scroll”).

16 tn Heb “a young man and tender.”

17 tn Heb “they ate and drank.”

18 tn Heb “with great joy.”

19 sn See 1 Chr 23:1, where David had previously designated Solomon as king over Israel.
