From email from Stacy.

Gary Shogren has found a couple more issues in the ULB. Please find his notes below. ...

1 Chron 21:1 – the ULB has “an adversary”, whereas the UDB has “Satan”. The ASV has Satan. I think “Satan” is correct and that the ULB is incorrect. So I rendered it “Satan”. I see what the issue is – some people always insist that shatan should be translated according by its etymology as “an adversary”, whereas the scholars typically say it is a proper name by the time we get to 1 Chronicles.
