1 Chronicles 12:19

12:19 Some men from Manasseh joined 1  David when he went with the Philistines to fight against Saul. (But in the end they did not help the Philistines because, after taking counsel, the Philistine lords sent David away, saying: “It would be disastrous for us if he deserts to his master Saul.”) 2 

1 Chronicles 13:2

13:2 David said to the whole Israelite assembly, “If you so desire and the Lord our God approves, 3  let’s spread the word 4  to our brothers who remain in all the regions of Israel, and to the priests and Levites in their cities, 5  so they may join us.

1 tn Heb “fell upon,” here in a good sense.

2 tn Heb “and they did not help them for by counsel they sent him away, the lords of the Philistines, saying, ‘With our heads he will fall to his master Saul.’”

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

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

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