| (0.37) | (Ezr 2:24) | 1 tn Heb “the men of the house of Azmaveth”; some regard בֵּית (bet, “house of”) as a part of the place name: NAB, NLT “Beth Azmaveth.” |

| (0.37) | (1Sa 15:12) | 2 tc The LXX also has “he returned the chariot” or “the chariot returned” before “he went down.” Again this may or may not be part of the quotation. |
| (0.37) | (1Sa 9:14) | 1 tn Heb “to meet them.” This may indicate purpose on Samuel’s part. The next sentence indicates that the meeting was by design, not just an accident. |
