2 Samuel 3:3

3:3 His second son ¹  was Kileab, born to Abigail the widow ²  of Nabal the Carmelite. His third son was Absalom, the son of Maacah daughter of King Talmai of Geshur.

2 Samuel 10:6

10:6 When the Ammonites realized that David was disgusted with them, ³  they ⁴  sent and hired 20,000 foot soldiers from Aram Beth Rehob and Aram Zobah, ⁵  in addition to 1,000 men from the king of Maacah and 12,000 men from Ish-tob. ⁶ 

2 Samuel 13:37

13:37 But Absalom fled and went to King Talmai son of Ammihud of Geshur. And David ⁷  grieved over his son every day.

[3:3]  ¹ tn The Hebrew text does not have the word “son.” So also in vv. 3-5.

[3:3]  ² tn Heb “wife.”

[10:6]  ³ tn Heb “that they were a stench [i.e., disgusting] with David.”

[10:6]  ⁴ tn Heb “the Ammonites.”

[10:6]  ⁵ tn Or “Arameans of Beth Rehob and Arameans of Zobah.”

[10:6]  ⁶ tn Or perhaps “the men of Tob.” The ancient versions (the LXX, the Syriac Peshitta, and Vulgate) understand the name to be “Ish-tob.” It is possible that “Ish” is dittographic and that we should read simply “Tob,” a reading adopted by a number of recent English versions.

[13:37]  ⁷ tc The Hebrew text leaves the word “David” to be inferred. The Syriac Peshitta and Vulgate add the word “David.” Most of the Greek tradition includes the words “King David” here.
