1 tn This statement is subordinated to v. 1 in the Hebrew text, which reads literally, “When Adoni-Zedek…they feared greatly.” The subject of the plural verb at the beginning of v. 2 is probably the residents of Jerusalem.
2 tn Heb “and he struck them down with the edge of the sword, he annihilated them.”
3 tn Heb “standing on their mounds.”
4 map For location see Map1 D2; Map2 D3; Map3 A2; Map4 C1.
5 tn Heb “but all the people they struck down with the edge of the sword until they destroyed them.”
6 tn Heb “This is the inheritance of the sons of Reuben by their clans, the cities and their towns.”
7 tn The words “their territory started at” are not in the Hebrew text, but have been supplied for clarification.
8 sn The Hebrew name Havvoth Jair means “the tent villages of Jair.”
9 tn Heb “and the cities were at the end of the tribe of the sons of Judah, at the border of Edom, to the south.”
10 tn Heb “and the cities set apart for the sons of Ephraim in the midst of the inheritance of the sons of Manasseh, all the cities and their towns.”

12 tn The name “Gath Rimmon” is problematic here, for it appears in the preceding list of Danite cities. The LXX reads “Iebatha”; 1 Chr 6:55 HT (6:70 ET) reads “Bileam.” Most modern translations retain the name “Gath Rimmon,” however.
