¹ tn Heb “servants.” So also elsewhere.

² tn Heb “from the king.”

³ tn Heb “a leader and a great one.” The expression is a hendiadys.

⁴ tn Heb “because the Lord broke out [with] a breaking out [i.e., an outburst] against Uzzah.”

⁵ sn The name Perez Uzzah means in Hebrew “the outburst [against] Uzzah.”

⁶ tc The Hebrew text leaves the word “David” to be inferred. The Syriac Peshitta and Vulgate add the word “David.” Most of the Greek tradition includes the words “King David” here.

⁷ tn Heb “servants” (also in v. 9).
