¹ tn Many English versions spell this name “Ibsam.”

² tn Many English versions retain a form of this name closer to the Hebrew, i.e., “Shemuel.”

³ tn Heb “heads of the house of their fathers.”

⁴ tn Heb “to Tola [there were] warriors by their generations, their number in the days of David [was] 22,600.”

⁵ tn Heb “and David again asked God.”

⁶ tn The words “this time” are not in the Hebrew text.

⁷ tn The Hebrew word translated “trees” is defined by HALOT 129 s.v. בָּכָא as “shrubs.” Some translate “balsam trees” (see BDB 113 s.v. בָּכָא), cf. NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT.

⁸ tn Heb “because for what was at first [i.e., formerly] you [were] not, the Lord our God broke out against us, because we did not seek him concerning the procedure.”

⁹ tn The words “from Egypt” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

¹⁰ tc Heb “and I was from tent to tent and from tabernacle.” The words אֶל־מִשְּׁכָּן (’el-mishÿkan, “to tabernacle”) should probably be added at the end of the sentence to complete this prepositional phrase and produce symmetry with the preceding prepositional phrase. The words probably fell from the text by homoioteleuton.

sn I have lived in a tent that has been in various places. The point here is that the Lord moved with the tabernacle as it moved from place to place; he did not confine himself to a particular location.

¹¹ tn Here the word “house” is used in a metaphorical sense, referring to a royal dynasty. The Lord’s use of the word here plays off the literal sense that David had in mind as he contemplated building a temple (“house”) for the Lord. In the translation the adjective “dynastic” is supplied to indicate that the term is used metaphorically.

¹² tn Heb “battle stood.”

¹³ tn The parallel text in 2 Sam 21:18 identifies this site as “Gob.”

¹⁴ tn The parallel text in 2 Sam 21:18 has the variant spelling “Saph.”

¹⁵ tn Heb “they”; the referent (the Philistines) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

¹⁶ tn Or “high place.”

¹⁷ tn Heb “they ate and drank.”

¹⁸ tn Heb “with great joy.”

¹⁹ sn See 1 Chr 23:1, where David had previously designated Solomon as king over Israel.
