¹ tc Heb “all these [were] men of war, helpers of the battle line.” The present translation assumes an emendation of עֹדְרֵי (’odÿrey, “helpers of”) to עֹרְכֵי, (’orÿkhey, “prepared for”).

² tn Heb “with a complete heart they came to Hebron to make David king over all Israel.”

³ tn Heb “and also all the rest of Israel [was of] one mind to make David king.”
