¹ tn Heb “and I will enter into judgment with you” (NRSV similar); NAB “and I shall arraign you.”

² tn Heb “all the just actions which he has done with you and with your fathers.”

³ tn Heb “in your heart.”

⁴ tn Heb “Look, I am with you, according to your heart.” See the note at 13:14.

⁶ tc The translation follows the LXX, the Syriac Peshitta, and the Targum in reading the second person singular suffix (“you”) rather than the third person plural suffix of the MT (“they”).

⁷ tc Heb “you will do [something] a third time.” The translation assumes an emendation of the verb from שִׁלַּשְׁתָּ (shillashta, “to do a third time”) to שִׁלִּישִׁית (shillishit, “[on the] third [day]”).

⁸ tn Heb “you must go down greatly.” See Judg 19:11 for the same idiom.

⁹ tn Heb “on the day of the deed.” This probably refers to the incident recorded in 19:2.

¹⁰ tn Heb “according to all which he spoke, the good concerning you.”
