1 tn Heb “arose and went.”

2 tn Heb “from,” but the following context indicates they traveled to this location.

3 tn This is another name for Kiriath-jearim (see 1 Chr 13:6).

4 tc The MT has here a double reference to the name (שֵׁם שֵׁם, shem shem). Many medieval Hebrew mss in the first occurrence point the word differently and read the adverb שָׁם (sham, “there”). This is also the understanding of the Syriac Peshitta (Syr., taman). While this yields an acceptable understanding to the text, it is more likely that the MT dittographic here. The present translation therefore reads שֵׁם only once.

5 tn Heb “work.”

6 tn The Hebrew text implies, but does not actually contain, the words “its produce” here.

7 tc The words “it will be,” though present in the MT, are absent from the LXX, the Syriac Peshitta, and Vulgate.

8 tn Heb “and he will eat it.”

9 tn Heb “raise up against you disaster.”

10 tn Heb “house” (so NAB, NRSV); NCV, TEV, CEV “family.”

11 tn Or “friend.”

12 tn Heb “will lie with” (so NIV, NRSV); TEV “will have intercourse with”; CEV, NLT “will go to bed with.”

13 tn Heb “in the eyes of this sun.”

14 tn Heb “your servant.” So also in vv. 8, 15, 21.

15 map For location see Map5 B1; Map6 F3; Map7 E2; Map8 F2; Map10 B3; JP1 F4; JP2 F4; JP3 F4; JP4 F4.

16 tn Heb “Arise!”

17 tn Heb “let’s flee.”

18 tn Heb “thrust.”

19 tn Heb “and strike the city with the edge of the sword.”

20 tn Heb “What are these to you?”

21 tc The translation follows the Qere and many medieval Hebrew mss in reading וְהַלֶּחֶם (vÿhallekhem, “and the bread”) rather than וּלְהַלֶּחֶם (ulÿhallekhem, “and to the bread”) of the Kethib. The syntax of the MT is confused here by the needless repetition of the preposition, probably taken from the preceding word.

22 tn The Hebrew text adds “to drink.”

23 tn Heb “commanded.”
