1 Samuel 6:10

6:10 So the men did as instructed. 1  They took two cows that had calves and harnessed them to a cart; they also removed their calves to their stalls.

1 Samuel 17:18

17:18 Also take these ten portions of cheese to their commanding officer. 2  Find out how your brothers are doing 3  and bring back their pledge that they received the goods. 4 

1 tn Heb “and the men did so.”

2 tn Heb “officer of the thousand.”

3 tn Heb “and your brothers, observe with respect to welfare.”

4 tn Heb “and their pledge take.” This probably refers to some type of confirmation that the goods arrived safely. See R. W. Klein, 1 Samuel (WBC), 177. Cf. NIV “bring back some assurance”; NCV “some proof to show me they are all right”; NLT “bring me back a letter from them.”
