1 tn Heb “a nation, one.”
2 tn Heb “whose God” or “because God.” In the Hebrew text this clause is subordinated to what precedes. The clauses are separated in the translation for stylistic reasons.
3 tn The verb is plural in Hebrew, agreeing grammatically with the divine name, which is a plural of degree.
4 tn Heb “redeem.”
5 tn Heb “and to do for you [plural form] the great [thing] and awesome [things] for your land.”
6 tn Heb “from Egypt, nations and their gods.” The LXX has “nations and tents,” which reflects a mistaken metathesis of letters in אֶלֹהָיו (e’lohav, “its gods”) and אֹהָלָיו (’ohalav, “its tents”).
7 sn The upper millstone (Heb “millstone of riding”) refers to the heavy circular stone that was commonly rolled over a circular base in order to crush and grind such things as olives.
8 tn Heb “came to the rich man.” In the translation “arrived at the rich man’s home” has been used for stylistic reasons.
9 tn Heb “and he refused to take from his flock and from his herd to prepare [a meal] for.”
10 tn Heb “who had come to him” (also a second time later in this verse). The word “visit” has been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons and for clarity.
11 tn Heb “and prepared.”
12 tn Heb “Is the hand of Joab with you in all this?”
13 tn Heb “What are these to you?”
14 tc The translation follows the Qere and many medieval Hebrew
15 tn The Hebrew text adds “to drink.”
16 tn Heb “they”; the referents (Absalom’s men) have been specified in the translation for clarity.
17 map For location see Map5 B1; Map6 F3; Map7 E2; Map8 F2; Map10 B3; JP1 F4; JP2 F4; JP3 F4; JP4 F4.
18 tn Heb “father.”
19 tn Heb “and you placed your servant among those who eat at your table.”
20 tn Heb “to cry out to.”
21 tn Heb “house.”
22 tn Heb “and he placed them in a guarded house.”
23 tn Heb “he did not come to them”; NAB “has no further relations with them”; NIV “did not lie with them”; TEV “did not have intercourse with them”; NLT “would no longer sleep with them.”
24 tn Heb “find.” The perfect verbal form is unexpected with the preceding word “otherwise.” We should probably read instead the imperfect. Although it is possible to understand the perfect here as indicating that the feared result is thought of as already having taken place (cf. BDB 814 s.v. פֶּן 2), it is more likely that the perfect is simply the result of scribal error. In this context the imperfect would be more consistent with the following verb וְהִצִּיל (vÿhitsil, “and he will get away”).
25 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Joab) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
26 tn Heb “his”; the referent (Amasa) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
27 tn Heb “and he did not repeat concerning him, and he died.”
28 tn Heb “until water was poured on them from the sky.”
29 tn Heb “rest.”
30 tn Heb “the beasts of the field.”
