2 tn In 2 Sam 24:16 this individual is called אֲרַוְנָא (“Aravna”; traditionally “Araunah”). The form of the name found here also occurs in 1 Chr 21:15; 18-28.
3 tn Heb “now, look, the sons of Ammon, Moab and Mount Seir.”
4 tn Heb “whom you did not allow Israel to enter when they came from the land of Egypt.”
5 tn Heb “the sons of Ammon and Moab stood against the residents of Mount Seir.”
6 tn Heb “to annihilate and to destroy.”
7 tn Heb “residents.”
8 tn Heb “they helped, each one his fellow, for destruction.” The verb עָזַר (’azar), traditionally understood as the well-attested verb meaning “to help,” is an odd fit in this context. It is possible that it is from a homonymic root, perhaps meaning to “attack.” This root is attested in Ugaritic in a nominal form meaning “young man, warrior, hero.” For a discussion of the proposed root, see HALOT 811 s.v. II עזר.
