1 tn Heb “approached for battle against Israel.”

2 tn Heb “before.”

3 tn Many English versions (e.g., KJV, NASB, NRSV, TEV) read “30,000” here.

4 tn Heb “according to these words.”

5 tn Heb “arose and cried out.”

6 tc Most of the LXX ms tradition has here “Gath.”

7 tn Heb “their camps.”

8 tc The translation follows the LXX (εἰς πόλεμον, eis polemon) and a Qumran ms מלחמה במלחמה ([m]lkhmh) bammilkhamah (“in the battle”) rather than the MT’s בַמַּחֲנֶה (bammakhaneh, “in the camp”; cf. NASB). While the MT reading is not impossible here, and although admittedly it is the harder reading, the variant fits the context better. The MT can be explained as a scribal error caused in part by the earlier occurrence of “camp” in this verse.

9 tn Heb “I know that you are good in my eyes.”
