4 tn Heb “and the Lord struck the child…and he was ill.” It is necessary to repeat “the child” in the translation to make clear who became ill, since “the Lord struck the child that Uriah’s wife had borne to David, and he became very ill” could be understood to mean that David himself became ill.
5 tn Heb “your servant has sheepshearers.” The phrase “your servant” also occurs at the end of the verse.
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 tc The translation follows many medieval Hebrew mss in reading וַתַּבֹא (vattavo’, “and she went”) rather than the MT וַתֹּאמֶר (vatto’mer, “and she said”). The MT reading shows confusion with וַתֹּאמֶר later in the verse. The emendation suggested here is supported by the LXX, the Syriac Peshitta, some mss of the Targum, and Vulgate.
8 tn The word “me” is left to be inferred in the Hebrew text; it is present in the Syriac Peshitta and Vulgate.
9 tn Heb “being invited and going naively and they did not know anything.”
10 tn Heb “Come and cross over.”
11 tn Heb “crossed over.”
12 tn Heb “all the little ones.”
13 tn Heb “his servants.”
14 map For location see Map1-A1; JP3-F3; JP4-F3.
15 tn Heb “Araunah.” The name has been replaced in the translation by the pronoun (“he”) for stylistic reasons.
16 tn Heb “nostrils.”
