1 Samuel 6:19

Context

6:19 But the Lord 1  struck down some of the people of Beth Shemesh because they had looked into the ark of the Lord; he struck down 50,070 2  of the men. The people grieved because the Lord had struck the people with a hard blow.

1 Samuel 17:28

Context

17:28 When David’s 3  oldest brother Eliab heard him speaking to the men, he became angry 4  with David and said, “Why have you come down here? To whom did you entrust those few sheep in the desert? I am familiar with your pride and deceit! 5  You have come down here to watch the battle!”

1 Samuel 30:15

Context
30:15 David said to him, “Can you take us down to this raiding party?” He said, “Swear to me by God that you will not kill me or hand me over to my master, and I will take you down to this raiding party.”

1 tn Heb “he”; the referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

2 tc The number 50,070 is surprisingly large, although it finds almost unanimous textual support in the MT and in the ancient versions. Only a few medieval Hebrew mss lack “50,000,” reading simply “70” instead. However, there does not seem to be sufficient external evidence to warrant reading 70 rather than 50,070, although that is done by a number of recent translations (e.g., NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT). The present translation (reluctantly) follows the MT and the ancient versions here.

3 tn Heb “his”; the referent (David) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

4 tn Heb “the anger of Eliab became hot.”

5 tn Heb “the wickedness of your heart.”
