Hebrew & Septuagint length

In English translation the verse runs 20 words from the Hebrew and 25 from the Septuagint (LXX English) — closely comparable.

A rough comparison of the two English renderings, which tokenize alike — not a word-level alignment.

Word counts can differ between the Hebrew and the Greek without any difference in meaning — e.g. the Hebrew direct-object marker אֵת has no separate Greek word, and Greek often adds the article ὁ.

In the original languages it is 15 Hebrew tokens and 20 Greek tokens — but the two are counted differently (Hebrew bundles its prefixes and suffixes into one token; the Greek is in lemma form), so that isn’t a like-for-like length.

Commentary

Notes on 1 Chronicles 13:11 from classic Christian and Jewish commentators (each source and its license shown beneath its notes). The classic Christian expositions comment on the surrounding passage and are grouped to its opening verse, so a note may address several verses; the Jewish commentaries on the Tanakh (Rashi and others) are per-verse, so they appear only where the commentator wrote on this verse.

Trapp's Complete Commentary

John Trapp

1Ch 13:11 And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perezuzza to this day.

Ver. 11. And David was displeased.] At himself, I think; at his own and the people’s error in carting the ark: else he was much mistaken. See on 2Sa 6:8.

Wherefore that place was called Perezuzza.] To perpetuate the memory of that signal judgment. So Num 9:3; Num 22:3 Jos 7:26. For this end also, the brazen censors of those presumptuous sinners against their own souls, were nailed as broad plates upon the altar, {Num 16:39-40} for a warning to others.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(11) Made a breach.—Ɓrokenforh against. The same verb recurs in 1Ch_14:11. (Comp. Exo_19:22.)

Wherefore that place is called.—Heb., and he (one) called that place.

To this day.—It is not implied necessarily that the place was known by this name in the days of the Chronicles. The same phrase occurs in the parallel verse of Samuel, and the chronicler has merely given a exact transcript of his source.

11. was displeased] Rather, was wroth, presumably against his advisers for not warning him that the method adopted for the removal of the ark was wrong; cp. 1Ch_15:13.

Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary

Divided. Slain. See chap. xiv. 11., 1 Kings xv. 32., and 2 Kings vi. 7. (Haydock) --- The soul of brutes perishes; that of man is only divided from the body by death.

The Pulpit Commentary

Displeased. The Hebrew root. (hr; j;) betokens a mixture of anger and grief. It is the word used of Jonah (iv. 1, 9), and perhaps our English word "vexed" or "hurt," would convey its meaning. Had made a breach; literally, had broken forth a breaking forth on Uzza; i.e. had fiercely broken forth on Uzza. There are many exactly analogous uses of both verb and noun in the Hebrew. To this day. This phrase, also found in the parallel place, indicates the lapse of time from the historical point of time to the point of record.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Perez-uzza - That is, the breach of Uzza. Let David's displeasure on this occasion caution us, to watch over our spirit, lest when God reproves us, instead of submitting to God, we quarrel with him. If God be angry with us, shall we dare to be angry with him?
