³ tn Heb “he was wielding his spear against 300, [who were] slain at one time.”

⁴ tc The Syriac reads “thirty” here and at the beginning of v. 21; this reading is followed by some English translations (cf. NAB, NASB, NRSV, NLT).

⁶ tn Heb “and to him [reading with the Qere] there was a name among the three.”
