Footnotes

  1. 2 Samuel 11:16 tn Heb “the valiant men.” This refers in context to the strongest or most valiant defenders of the city Joab and the Israelite army were besieging, so the present translation uses “the best enemy soldiers” for clarity.
  2. 2 Samuel 11:17 tn Heb “some of the people from the servants of David.”
  3. 2 Samuel 11:18 tn Heb “Joab sent and related to David all the matters of the battle.”
