1 tn The Hebrew text does not have “sons.”

2 tn Heb “to Ish-bosheth son of Saul saying.” To avoid excessive sibilance (especially when read aloud) the translation renders “saying” as “with this demand.”

3 tn Heb “whom I betrothed to myself.”

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

5 tn Heb “and the Lord struck the child…and he was ill.” It is necessary to repeat “the child” in the translation to make clear who became ill, since “the Lord struck the child that Uriah’s wife had borne to David, and he became very ill” could be understood to mean that David himself became ill.
