¹ tn Heb “all these were the sons of Asher, heads of the house of the fathers, selected, warriors, heads of the leaders, and there was listed in the genealogical records in war, in battle, their number, men, 26,000.”

² tn Heb “so these uncircumcised ones might not come and abuse me.”

³ tn Heb “Is David honoring your father in your eyes when he sends to you ones consoling?”

⁴ tc Heb “Is it not to explore and to overturn and to spy out the land (that) his servants have come to you?” The Hebrew term לַהֲפֹךְ (lahafakh, “to overturn”) seems misplaced in the sequence. Some emend the form to לַחְפֹּר (lakhpor, “to spy out”). The sequence of three infinitives may be a conflation of alternative readings.

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.”
