1 Samuel 14:32
14:32 So the army rushed greedily on 1 the 2 plunder, confiscating sheep, cattle, and calves. They slaughtered them right on the ground, and the army ate them blood and all.
1 Samuel 28:24
28:24 Now the woman 3 had a well-fed calf 4 at her home that she quickly slaughtered. Taking some flour, she kneaded bread and baked it without leaven.
1 tc The translation follows the Qere and many medieval Hebrew mss in reading “and they rushed greedily upon,” rather than the Kethib, “and they did.”
2 tc The translation reads with the Qere and many medieval Hebrew mss הַשָּׁלָל (hashalal, “the spoil”) rather than following the Kethib reading, שָׁלָל (shalal, “spoil”).
3 sn Masoretic mss of the Hebrew Bible mark this word as the half-way point in the book of Samuel, treating 1 and 2 Samuel as a single book. Similar notations are found at the midway point for all of the books of the Hebrew Bible.
4 tn Heb “a calf of the stall.”
