---

¹ tn Heb “you will see [the] trouble of [the] dwelling place.” Since God’s dwelling place/sanctuary is in view, the pronoun is supplied in the translation (see v. 29).

² tn Heb “in all which he does good with Israel.”

³ tc The LXX and a Qumran manuscript have the first person pronoun “my” here.

⁴ tn Heb “all the days.”

⁵ tn Heb “responded.”

⁶ tn Or “baggage” (so many English versions); KJV “stuff”; TEV “supplies.”

⁷ tn Heb “sons of worthlessness” (see 2:12).

⁸ tc In place of the MT (“and it was like one being silent”) the LXX has “after about a month,” taking the expression with the first part of the following chapter rather than with 10:27. Some Hebrew support for this reading appears in the corrected hand of a Qumran ms of Samuel, which has here “about a month.” However, it seems best to stay with the MT here even though it is difficult.

⁹ tn Following the imperative, the cohortative verbal form indicates purpose/result here.

¹⁰ tn Heb “people.”

¹¹ tn Heb “according to this word, saying.”
