1 tn Heb “the sons of Reuben and the Gadites and half of the tribe of Manasseh, from the sons of bravery, men carrying a shield and sword and treading a bow and trained for war, 44,760 going out for warfare.”
2 tn Heb “capable [for] the work of the task of the house of God.”
3 tn Heb “and these are the number of the warriors who were David’s.”
4 tc The marginal reading (Qere) has “officers;” the consonantal text (Kethib) has “the Thirty” (see v. 15).
5 tn Heb “he was wielding his spear against 300, [who were] slain at one time.”
6 tc The Syriac reads “thirty” here and at the beginning of v. 21; this reading is followed by some English translations (cf. NAB, NASB, NRSV, NLT).
7 tn Heb “he was wielding his spear against three hundred, [who were] slain.”
8 tn Heb “and to him [reading with the Qere] there was a name among the three.”
9 tn Heb “kept from.”
10 tn Heb “he”; the referent (David) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
11 tc Heb “all these [were] men of war, helpers of the battle line.” The present translation assumes an emendation of עֹדְרֵי (’odÿrey, “helpers of”) to עֹרְכֵי, (’orÿkhey, “prepared for”).
12 tn Heb “with a complete heart they came to Hebron to make David king over all Israel.”
13 tn Heb “and also all the rest of Israel [was of] one mind to make David king.”
14 tn Heb “cut off.”
15 tn Heb “and I will make for you a name like the name of the great men who are in the earth.”
16 tn Heb “plant.”
17 tn Heb “shaken.”
18 tn Heb “and sons of violence will no longer consume them as in the beginning.”
19 tn Heb “and this was small in your eyes, O God, so you spoke concerning the house of your servant for a distance.”
20 tn The translation “You have revealed to me what men long to know” is very tentative; the meaning of the Hebrew text is unclear. The text appears to read literally, “and you see me like the searching of man, that which is upward,” which is nonsensical. The translation above assumes the following: (1) The Qal verb translated “you see me” is repointed as a Hiphil, “you showed me,” (2) תּוֹר (tor) is understood in the sense of “searching, exploring,” and (3) הַמַּעֲלָה (hamma’alah) is taken in a temporal sense of “that which lies beyond.” Thus one could translate, “you have shown me what men search for, what lies beyond.”
21 tn Heb “David and the officers of the army set apart for service the sons of Asaph and Heman and Jeduthun, the ones prophesying by harps, by lyres, and by cymbals.”
22 tn Heb “and their number was, the men of work for their service.”
23 tn Heb “and they were searched and there were found in them.”
24 tn Heb “anger was on Israel.”
25 tc The Hebrew text has “in the number,” but מִסְפַּר (mispar) is probably dittographic – note that the same word appears immediately before this. The form should be emended to בְּסֵפֶר (bÿsefar, “in the scroll”).
