Footnotes

  1. 2 Samuel 6:2 Also called Baalah Judah. It is another name for Kiriath Jearim.
  2. 2 Samuel 6:4 At the point marked by half-brackets, the main Hebrew text has additional words: They brought it with the Ark of God out of Abinadab’s house, which was on the hill. These words seem to be an accidental duplication from verse 3. Some Hebrew and Greek manuscripts do not include these words.
