Footnotes

  1. 1 Samuel 22:7 tc The MT has “to all of you.” If this reading is correct, we have here an example of a prepositional phrase functioning as the equivalent of a dative of advantage, which is not impossible from a grammatical point of view. However, the LXX, the Syriac Peshitta, and Vulgate all have “and.” A conjunction rather than a preposition should probably be read on the front of this phrase.
  2. 1 Samuel 22:7 tn Heb “officers of a thousand and officers of a hundred.”
  3. 1 Samuel 22:8 tn Heb “uncovers my ear.”
