1 tn Heb “into the ears of.”
2 tn Heb “also Abner went to speak into the ears of David in Hebron.”
3 tn Heb “all which was good in the eyes of Israel and in the eyes of all the house of Benjamin.”

5 tn Heb “and this [is] the law of man”; KJV “is this the manner of man, O Lord God?”; NAB “this too you have shown to man”; NRSV “May this be instruction for the people, O Lord God!” This part of the verse is very enigmatic; no completely satisfying solution has yet been suggested. The present translation tries to make sense of the MT by understanding the phrase as a question that underscores the uniqueness of God’s dealings with David as described here. The parallel passage in 1 Chr 17:17 reads differently (see the note there).
6 tn Heb “horsemen” (so KJV, NASB, NCV, NRSV, NLT) but the Lucianic recension of the LXX reads “foot soldiers,” as does the parallel text in 1 Chr 19:18. Cf. NAB, NIV.

9 tc The translation follows the Qere and many medieval Hebrew
10 tn Heb “and he went down to.”
