¹ tn This statement is subordinated to v. 1 in the Hebrew text, which reads literally, “When Adoni-Zedek…they feared greatly.” The subject of the plural verb at the beginning of v. 2 is probably the residents of Jerusalem.

² tn Heb “and he struck them down with the edge of the sword, he annihilated them.”

³ tn Heb “standing on their mounds.”

⁴ map For location see Map1-D2; Map2-D3; Map3-A2; Map4-C1.

⁵ tn Heb “but all the people they struck down with the edge of the sword until they destroyed them.”

⁶ tn Heb “This is the inheritance of the sons of Reuben by their clans, the cities and their towns.”

⁷ tn The words “their territory started at” are not in the Hebrew text, but have been supplied for clarification.

⁸ sn The Hebrew name Havvoth Jair means “the tent villages of Jair.”

⁹ tn Heb “and the cities were at the end of the tribe of the sons of Judah, at the border of Edom, to the south.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “and the cities set apart for the sons of Ephraim in the midst of the inheritance of the sons of Manasseh, all the cities and their towns.”

¹¹ tn Heb “so that the one who kills, taking life accidentally without knowledge, may flee there.”

¹² tn The name “Gath Rimmon” is problematic here, for it appears in the preceding list of Danite cities. The LXX reads “Iebatha”; 1 Chr 6:55 HT (6:70 ET) reads “Bileam.” Most modern translations retain the name “Gath Rimmon,” however.
