¹ tc Most LXX mss lack v. 50.

² tn Verse 50 is a summary statement; v. 51 gives a more detailed account of how David killed the Philistine.

³ tn Heb “and the Hebrews were to the Philistines formerly, who went up with them in the camp all around.”

⁴ tn Heb “all Israel.”

⁵ tn Heb “Let not the heart of a man fall upon him.” The LXX reads “my lord,” instead of “a man.”

⁶ tn Heb “the number of the days.”

⁷ tn Heb “days.” The plural of the word “day” is sometimes used idiomatically to refer specifically to a year. In addition to this occurrence in v. 7 see also 1 Sam 1:3, 21; 2:19; 20:6; Lev 25:29; Judg 17:10.
