| (0.30) | (2Sa 7:27) | 2 tn Heb “a house.” This maintains the wordplay from v. 11 (see the note on the word “house” there) and is continued in v. 29. |
| (0.30) | (2Sa 5:10) | 1 tc 4QSama and the LXX lack the word “God,” probably due to harmonization with the more common biblical phrase “the Lord of hosts.” |
| (0.30) | (1Sa 17:43) | 1 sn Sticks is a pejorative reference to David’s staff (v. 40); the same Hebrew word (מַקֵּל, maqqel) is used for both. |

| (0.30) | (1Sa 13:15) | 2 tn Heb “at Gibeah of Benjamin.” The words “in the territory” are supplied in the translation for clarity (likewise in the following verse). |
| (0.30) | (1Sa 13:20) | 1 tc The translation follows the LXX (“their sickle”) here, rather than the MT “plowshares,” which is due to dittography from the word earlier in the verse. |
| (0.30) | (1Sa 2:18) | 1 tn The word “now” does not appear in the Hebrew but was added as part of beginning a new topic in a new paragraph. Verse 11b begins similarly. |
