Okay, a rabbit trail may have revealed a funny point about the NRSV's textual history.
#Genesis 10:14 = #1Chronicles 1:12 lists the peoples of Pathros, Kasluh, & Kaphtor, mentioning in passing that the Philistines came from Kasluhites.
Oddly, #Jeremiah 47:4 and #Amos 9:7 identify the Philistines as coming from Kaphtor, not Kasluh.
What's going on here? Dunno. Perhaps a marginal addition was incorporated into the main text in the wrong spot in Genesis.

The story of David's first attempt to move the ark is told twice, with some textual differences. 2 Sam 6:5 mentions the initial celebrations "with all [instruments of] cypress wood," while 1 Chr 13:8 says "with all strength, and with songs."
2 Sam 6:5: בְּכֹ֖ל עֲצֵ֣י בְרוֹשִׁ֑ים
1 Chr 13:8: בְּכָל־עֹ֑ז וּבְשִׁירִ֤יםThe only differences are transpositions of letters and a different word division, but it raises questions whether cypress or songs were involved.

Comparing the two genealogies of Saul in #1Chronicles 8:29-38 || 9:35-44:
The name Y'iel/Y'uel in 9:35 is omitted in 8:29, oddly.
Saul's grandfather Ner's name is omitted from 8:30 (cf. 9:36), by haplography with the following Nadab (because r and d are so similar in #Hebrew).
"And Mikloth" is also omitted fro the end of 8:31 by haplography (cf. 9:37).
"And Ahaz" is omitted from 9:41 by haplography (cf. 8:35).
