Footnotes

The present translation assumes textual duplication in the and does not attempt to represent the pronoun twice. However, for a defense of the here, with the suggested translation “for him just now—you will find him,” see S. R. Driver, Notes on the Hebrew Text and the Topography of the Books of Samuel, .
