1 tn The oath formula is used: “if you do us harm” means “so that you will not do.” 2 tn Heb “touched.” 3 tn Heb “and just as we have done only good with you.” 4 tn Heb “and we sent you away.” 5 tn The Philistine leaders are making an observation, not pronouncing a blessing, so the translation reads “you are blessed” rather than “may you be blessed” (cf. NAB). |
