1 tn 1 Chr 13:9 has “Kidon.”

2 tn Or “steadied.”

3 tn Heb “and Uzzah reached out toward the ark of God and grabbed it.”

4 tn Heb “because the Lord broke out [with] a breaking out [i.e., an outburst] against Uzzah.”

5 sn The name Perez Uzzah means in Hebrew “the outburst [against] Uzzah.”

6 tc The MT has here “because you have caused the enemies of the Lord to treat the Lord with such contempt.” This is one of the so-called tiqqune sopherim, or “emendations of the scribes.” According to this ancient tradition, the scribes changed the text in order to soften somewhat the negative light in which David was presented. If that is the case, the MT reflects the altered text. The present translation departs from the MT here. Elsewhere the Piel stem of this verb means “treat with contempt,” but never “cause someone to treat with contempt.”

7 tn Heb “said.”

8 tn Heb “Who knows?”
