¹tn Heb “and Saul died because of his unfaithfulness by which he acted unfaithfully against the Lord, concerning the word of the Lord which he did not keep, also to Saul, a ritual pit to seek.” The text alludes to the incident recorded in 1 Sam 28. The Hebrew term אוֹב (’ov, “ritual pit”) refers to a pit used by a magician to conjure up underworld spirits. In 1 Sam 28:7 the witch of Endor is called a בַּעֲלַת־אוֹב (ba’alat-’ov, “owner of a ritual pit”). See H. A. Hoffner, “Second Millennium Antecedents to the Hebrew áo‚b,” JBL 86 (1967): 385-401.

²tn Heb “he”; the referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

³sn Verse 6 inserts into the narrative parenthetical information about Joab’s role in the conquest of the city. Verse 7 then picks up where v. 5 left off.

⁴tn Or perhaps “strikes down.”

⁵tn Heb “head and officer.”

⁶tn Heb “went up.”

⁷tn Heb “head.”

⁸tn The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied for clarity.

sn The Shihor River was a river on the border of Egypt, probably the eastern branch of the Nile.

⁹tn Or “the entrance to Hamath.”

¹⁰tn Heb “and the anger of the Lord burned against Uzzah.”

¹¹tn Heb “because he stretched out his hand over the ark.”

¹²sn The modern reader might think God seemed to overreact here, but Israel needed a vivid object lesson of God’s holiness. By loading the ark on a cart, David had violated the instructions in God’s law (Exod 25:12-14; Num 4:5-6, 15). Uzzah’s action, however innocent it may seem, betrayed a certain lack of reverence for God’s presence. God had to remind his people that his holiness could not under any circumstances be violated.

¹³tn Heb “because the Lord broke out [with] breaking out [i.e., an outburst] against Uzzah.”

¹⁴sn The name Perez Uzzah means in Hebrew “the outburst [against] Uzzah.”

¹⁵sn The phrase the City of David refers here to the fortress of Zion in Jerusalem, not to Bethlehem. See 2 Sam 5:7.

¹⁶tn The Hebrew text adds, “their brothers.”

¹⁷tn Heb “and now, O Lord, the word which you spoke concerning your servant and concerning his house, may it be established permanently.”

¹⁸tn Heb “as you have spoken.”

¹⁹tn Heb “and the word of the king was stronger than Joab.”
