tn Heb “The men of Judah captured Gaza and its surrounding territory, Ashkelon and its surrounding territory, and Ekron and its surrounding territory.”

tn Heb “the house of Ephraim.”

tn Or “Israel experienced great distress.” Perhaps here the verb has the nuance “hemmed in.”

tn Or “camped in.”

tn Or “spread out.” The Niphal of נָטָשׁ (natash) has this same sense in 2 Sam 5:18, 22.
