1 Samuel 26:1
ContextDavid Spares Saul’s Life Again
26:1 The Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah and said, “Isn’t David hiding on the hill of Hakilah near 4 Jeshimon?”
1 tc Heb “you will do [something] a third time.” The translation assumes an emendation of the verb from שִׁלַּשְׁתָּ (shillashta, “to do a third time”) to שִׁלִּישִׁית (shillishit, “[on the] third [day]”).
2 tn Heb “you must go down greatly.” See Judg 19:11 for the same idiom.
3 tn Heb “on the day of the deed.” This probably refers to the incident recorded in 19:2.
4 tn Heb “upon the face of.”
