1 Samuel 30:21

1 tc The MT has “him” (אֹתוֹ, ’oto) here, in addition to the “him” at the end of the verse. The ancient versions attest to only one occurrence of the pronoun, although it is possible that this is due to translation technique rather than to their having a Hebrew text with the pronoun used only once. The present translation assumes textual duplication in the MT and does not attempt to represent the pronoun twice. However, for a defense of the MT here, with the suggested translation “for him just now – you will find him,” see S. R. Driver, Notes on the Hebrew Text and the Topography of the Books of Samuel, 72-73.
2 tn Heb “he” (also in v. 25); the referent (Samuel) has been specified in both places in the translation for clarity.
3 sn In the Hebrew text the pronoun you is plural, suggesting that Saul’s father was concerned about his son and the servant who accompanied him.
4 tn Heb “spoke good with respect to David.”
5 tn Heb “good.”
6 tn Heb “servants’.”
7 tn Heb “these days or these years.”
8 tn Heb “from the day of his falling [away] until this day.”
9 tn Heb “David.” The pronoun (“him”) has been substituted for the proper name in the translation for stylistic reasons.
