¹ tn Heb “do not fix your heart.”

² tn Heb “and all the house of your father.”

³ tn Heb “said.” So also in vv. 11, 17.

⁴ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Jonathan) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁵ tc The translation follows the Qere, many medieval Hebrew mss, and the ancient versions in reading “he will not do,” rather than the Kethib of the MT (“do to him”).

⁶ tn Heb “without uncovering my ear.”
