1 Samuel 24:7

24:7 David restrained his men with these words and did not allow them to rise up against Saul. Then Saul left the cave and started down the road.


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]”).

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

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

tn Heb “went on.”
