TSNTyndale Study Notes:

17:25 According to 1 Chr 2:15-16, Abigail and Zeruiah were David’s sisters. But since Abigail is called the daughter of Nahash, she and Zeruiah were apparently David’s half sisters (Nahash was probably their father; his widow would then have married Jesse and given birth to David and his brothers).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-names

(Occurrence 0) Amasa … Joab … Jether … Nahash

(Some words not found in UHB: and=DOM ˊAmāsāʼ appointed ʼAⱱīshālōm below/instead_of Yōʼāⱱ/(Joab) on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,army and,Amasa son_of (a)_man and=his/its=name Ithra the,Israelite which/who he/it_came to/towards ʼAⱱīgayil daughter_of Nāḩāsh sister Tsərūyāh/(Zeruiah) mother_of Yōʼāⱱ/(Joab)'s )

These are the names of men. See how you translated Joab and Zeruiah (Joab’s mother) in 2 Samuel 2:13.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

(Occurrence 0) who went in to Abigail

(Some words not found in UHB: and=DOM ˊAmāsāʼ appointed ʼAⱱīshālōm below/instead_of Yōʼāⱱ/(Joab) on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,army and,Amasa son_of (a)_man and=his/its=name Ithra the,Israelite which/who he/it_came to/towards ʼAⱱīgayil daughter_of Nāḩāsh sister Tsərūyāh/(Zeruiah) mother_of Yōʼāⱱ/(Joab)'s )

This is a polite way of speaking of sexual relations. You may have to use other words in your translation. Alternate translation: “who had sexual relations with Abigail”

Note 3 topic: translate-names
