Footnotes

1. 2 Samuel 21:12 tn Heb “David.” For stylistic reasons the name has been replaced by the pronoun (“he”) in the translation.
2. 2 Samuel 21:12 tn Heb “the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son.” See also v. 13.
3. 2 Samuel 21:12 tn Heb “lords.”
4. 2 Samuel 21:12 tn Heb “stolen.”
5. 2 Samuel 21:12 tc Against the MT, this word is better read without the definite article. The MT reading is probably here the result of wrong word division, with the letter ה (he) belonging with the preceding word שָׁם (sham) as the he directive (i.e., שָׁמָּה, samah, “to there”).
6. 2 Samuel 21:12 tn Heb “had hung them.”
7. 2 Samuel 21:12 tn Heb “in the day.”
8. 2 Samuel 21:12 tn Heb “Philistines.”
