1 tc The LXX includes the following words: “And all the people were with Saul, about ten thousand men. And the battle extended to the entire city on mount Ephraim.”

2 tn Heb “plunderers.”

3 tn The words “if that is the case” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

4 tn Heb “saw and knew.”

5 tn Heb “Saul’s.” In the translation the proper name has been replaced by the pronoun for stylistic reasons.

6 tn Heb “him”; the referent (David) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

7 tn Heb “of David.” In the translation the proper name has been replaced by the pronoun for stylistic reasons.

8 tc The final sentence of v. 29 is absent in most LXX mss.

tn Heb “all the days.”

9 tc Heb “the Lord [is] between me and between you forever.” The translation assumes that the original text read עֵד עַד־עוֹלָם (’ed ’ad-’olam), “a witness forever,” with the noun “a witness” accidentally falling out of the text by haplography. See P. K. McCarter, I Samuel (AB), 338.

10 tn Heb “knew the matter.”
