1 Samuel 17:40

Context
17:40 He took his staff in his hand, picked out five smooth stones from the stream, placed them in the pouch 1  of his shepherd’s bag, took his sling in hand, and approached the Philistine.

1 Samuel 22:18

Context

22:18 Then the king said to Doeg, “You turn and strike down the priests!” So Doeg the Edomite turned and struck down the priests. He killed on that day eighty-five 2  men who wore the linen ephod.

1 tn This Hebrew word occurs only here and its exact meaning is not entirely clear. It refers to a receptacle of some sort and apparently was a common part of a shepherd’s equipment. Here it serves as a depository for the stones that David will use in his sling.

2 tc The number is confused in the Greek ms tradition. The LXX, with the exception of the Lucianic recension, has the number 305. The Lucianic recension, along with a couple of Old Latin mss, has the number 350.
