1 Chronicles 14:11

1 Chronicles 19:4

19:4 So Hanun seized David’s servants and shaved their beards off. 3  He cut off the lower part of their robes so that their buttocks were exposed 4  and then sent them away.

1 Chronicles 21:22

21:22 David said to Ornan, “Sell me the threshing floor 5  so I can build 6  on it an altar for the Lord – I’ll pay top price 7  – so that the plague may be removed 8  from the people.”

1 tn Heb “by my hand.”

2 sn The name Baal Perazim means “Lord of outbursts” in Hebrew.

3 tn Heb “shaved them.” See v. 5.

4 tn Heb “and he cut their robes in the middle unto the buttocks.”

5 tn Heb “the place of the threshing floor.”

6 tn Following the imperative, the prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive here indicates the immediate purpose/result: “so I can build.”

7 tn Heb “For full silver sell to me.”

8 tn Following the imperative and first person prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive, this third person prefixed verbal form with vav conjunctive introduces the ultimate purpose/result: “so the plague may be removed.” Another option is subordinate this form to the preceding imperative, but the latter may be taken as a parenthetical expansion of the initial request.
