¹ tn Heb “and they were helped against them and they were given over into their hand, the Hagrites and all who were with them, for to God they cried out in the battle and he was entreated [or “allowed himself to be entreated”] by them for they trusted in him.”

⁵ tn Or “They poured olive oil on David to designate him as king.”

⁶ tn Heb “according to the word of the Lord by the hand of Samuel.”

⁷ tc Heb “all these [were] men of war, helpers of the battle line.” The present translation assumes an emendation of עֹדְרֵי (’odÿrey, “helpers of”) to עֹרְכֵי, (’orÿkhey, “prepared for”).

⁹ tn Heb “and also all the rest of Israel [was of] one mind to make David king.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “for my name.”

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

¹² tn The words “he told them” are added in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

¹³ tn In the Hebrew text the statement is phrased as a rhetorical question, “Is not the Lord your God with you?” The question anticipates the response, “Of course he is!” Thus in the translation the positive statement “The Lord your God is with you!” has been used.
