### Brown–Driver–Briggs 1906

**The whole BDB entry:** in עַל־הַשַּׁל 2 S 6:7 is disputed; 𝔊B om.; A 𝔊L τῇ προπετείᾳ, for his hastiness (prob. from Aramaic; cf. ܡܶܢ ܫܶܠܝܳܐ = suddenly), 𝔙 temeritate; 𝔗 על דאשתלי because he acted in error (Aramaic שְׁלִי, שְׁלָא error: v. Biblical Aramaic שָׁלוּ), hence AV RV for his error; שָׁלַ\[ה יָדוֹ עַל\] \[אֲשֶׁר\] עַל, ‖ 1 Ch 13:10.

Why these entries: BDB: headword, part of speech not compared, 1 of its verses cited, 0 words shared with the glosses, lists its Strong's number (10 candidates); OSHB: headword, part of speech agrees, 2 words shared with the BDB entry, 0 with the glosses (8 candidates)
