1 tn Heb “sent and took her.”

2 tn In 1 Sam 25:44 this name appears as “Palti.”

3 tn Heb “the bridle of one cubit.” Many English versions treat this as a place name because the parallel text in 1 Chr 18:1 reads “Gath” (which is used by NLT here). It is possible that “the bridle of one cubit” is to be understood as “the token of surrender,” referring to the Philistine’s defeat rather than a specific place (cf. TEV, CEV).

4 tn Heb “from the hand [i.e., control] of the Philistines.”

5 tn Heb “Betah” (so KJV, NASB, NRSV), but the name should probably be corrected to “Tebah.” See the parallel text in 1 Chr 18:8.

6 tn Heb “according to my righteousness.” See v. 21.

7 tn Heb “according to my purity before his eyes.”
