1 tn Heb “yoke.”
2 tn Heb “like one man.”
3 tn Heb “to a guard”; KJV, NASB, NRSV “with a keeper”; NIV “with a shepherd.” Since in contemporary English “guard” sounds like someone at a military installation or a prison, the present translation uses “to someone else who would watch over it.”
4 tn Or “entrenchment.”
5 tn Heb “arose and went.”
6 sn Beginning with 20:42b, the verse numbers through 21:15 in the English Bible differ from the verse numbers in the Hebrew text (BHS), with 20:42b ET = 21:1 HT, 21:1 ET = 21:2 HT, 21:2 ET = 21:3 HT, etc., through 21:15 ET = 21:16 HT. With 22:1 the verse numbers in the ET and HT are again the same.
7 tn Heb “he”; the referent (David) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
8 tn Heb “David.” The pronoun (“him”) has been substituted for the proper name in the translation for stylistic reasons.
