Footnotes

  1. 31 Heb “and Jonathan arose.” Instead of ’s וַיָּקָם (vayyaqam, “and he arose”; from the hollow verbal root קוּם, qum), the translation assumes a reading וַיִּקַדֵּם (vayyiqaddem, “and he was in front of”; from the verbal root קדם, qdm). See P. K. McCarter, I Samuel (), .
  2. 32 Heb “and Abner sat at the side of Saul.”
