1 tn The name means “Lord of the outbursts.”

2 tn Heb “cut off.”

3 tn Heb “and I will make for you a great name like the name of the great ones who are in the earth.”

4 tn Heb “the servants of Hadadezer.”

5 tn Heb “and they served them.”

6 tc Codex Leningrad (B19A), on which BHS is based, has here “messengers” (הַמַּלְאכִים, hammal’khim), probably as the result of contamination from the occurrence of that word in v. 4. The present translation follows most Hebrew mss and the ancient versions, which read “kings” (הַמֶּלָאכִים, hammela’kim).

7 tn Heb “go out.”

8 tn Heb “and his servants with him.”

9 tn Heb “all Israel.”

10 tn The disjunctive clause contrasts David’s inactivity with the army’s activity.
