1 tn Heb “the kingdom of the Lord by the hand of the sons of David.”
2 tn Or “horde”; or “multitude.”
3 tn Heb “and there fell from the Cushites so that there was not to them preservation of life.”
4 tn Heb “they”; the referent (the men of Judah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
5 tn Heb “for the terror of the Lord was upon them.”
6 tn Heb “they”; the referent (the men of Judah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
7 tn Heb “for great plunder was in them.”
8 sn The phrase the City of David refers here to the fortress of Zion in Jerusalem, not to Bethlehem. See 2 Sam 5:7.
9 tn Heb “and they burned for him a large fire, very great.”
10 tn Heb “they”; the implied referent (messengers) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
11 tn Heb “the Sea”; in context (“from the direction of Edom”) this must refer to the Dead Sea, which has been specified in the translation for clarity (cf. NEB, NLT).
12 tc Most Hebrew mss read “from Aram” (i.e., Syria), but this must be a corruption of “Edom,” which is the reading of the LXX and Vulgate.
13 tn Heb “for [or “indeed”] upon you are our eyes.”
14 tn Heb “Judah.” The words “the men of” are supplied in the translation for clarity. The Hebrew text uses the name “Judah” by metonymy for the men of Judah.
15 tn Heb “turned toward.”
16 tn Or “army.”
17 tc The MT reads פְגָרִים (fÿgarim, “corpses”), but this seems odd among a list of plunder. A few medieval Hebrew mss and the Vulgate read בְגָדִים (vÿgadim, “clothing”), which fits the context much better.
18 tn Heb “and they snatched away for themselves so that there was no carrying away.”
19 tn Heb “and they were three days looting the plunder for it was great.”
20 tn Heb “and when the word spread out.”
21 tn Heb “the sons of Israel multiplied.”
