1 Chronicles 13:2

13:2 David said to the whole Israelite assembly, “If you so desire and the Lord our God approves, 2  let’s spread the word 3  to our brothers who remain in all the regions of Israel, and to the priests and Levites in their cities, 4  so they may join us.

1 Chronicles 21:17

21:17 David said to God, “Was I not the one who decided to number the army? I am the one who sinned and committed this awful deed! 5  As for these sheep – what have they done? O Lord my God, attack me and my family, 6  but remove the plague from your people!” 7 

1 tc Heb “the two of Ariel, Moab.” The precise meaning of אֲרִיאֵל (’ari’el) 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).

2 tn Heb “If to you [it is] good and from the Lord our God.”

3 tn Heb “let us spread and let us send.” The words “the word” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

4 tn Heb “in the cities of their pasturelands.”

5 tn “and doing evil I did evil.” The infinitive absolute precedes the finite form of the verb for emphasis.

6 tn Heb “let your hand be on me and on the house of my father.”

7 tn Heb “but on your people not for a plague.”
