¹ tn The words “this message” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

² tn Heb “stinks.” The figurative language indicates that Israel had become repulsive to the Philistines.

³ tn Heb “were summoned after.”

⁴ tn Heb “and I must surely sit with the king to eat.” The infinitive absolute appears before the finite verb for emphasis.
