¹ tn 1 Chr 13:9 has “Kidon.”

³ tn Heb “and Uzzah reached out toward the ark of God and grabbed it.”

⁴ tn Heb “some of the people from the servants of David.”

⁵ tn Heb “from upon me.”

⁶ tc A few medieval Hebrew mss have “and they removed everyone” (Hiphil preterite with vav consecutive 3cp, rather than Qal preterite with vav consecutive 3cp).

⁷ tn Heb “send this [one] from upon me to the outside.”

⁸ tn Heb “and all his house.”

⁹ tn Heb “women, concubines.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “came to.” The form of the verb in the MT is odd. Some prefer to read וַיַּבֹא (vayyavo’), preterite with vav consecutive) rather than וּבָא (uva’), apparently perfect with vav), but this is probably an instance where the narrative offline vÿqatal construction introduces a new scene.

¹¹ tn Heb “And look, from there a man was coming out from the clan of the house of Saul and his name was Shimei son of Gera, continually going out and cursing.”

¹² tn Heb “good news is in his mouth.”
