2 Samuel 6:20

6:20 When David went home to pronounce a blessing on his own house, ¹  Michal, Saul’s daughter, came out to meet him. ²  She said, “How the king of Israel has distinguished ³  himself this day! He has exposed himself today before his servants’ slave girls the way a vulgar fool ⁴  might do!”

2 Samuel 12:9

12:9 Why have you shown contempt for the word of the Lord by doing evil in my ⁵  sight? You have struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword and you have taken his wife as your own! ⁶  You have killed him with the sword of the Ammonites.

[6:20]  ¹ tn Heb “and David returned to bless his house.”

[6:20]  ² tn Heb “David.” The name has been replaced by the pronoun (“him”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[6:20]  ³ tn Heb “honored.”

[6:20]  ⁴ tn Heb “one of the foolish ones.”

[12:9]  ⁵ tc So the Qere; the Kethib has “his.”

[12:9]  ⁶ tn Heb “to you for a wife.” This expression also occurs at the end of v. 10.
