2 Samuel 15:31
Konteks15:31 Now David 1 had been told, “Ahithophel has sided with the conspirators who are with Absalom. So David prayed, 2 “Make the advice of Ahithophel foolish, O Lord!”
2 Samuel 24:3
Konteks24:3 Joab replied to the king, “May the Lord your God make the army a hundred times larger right before the eyes of my lord the king! But why does my master the king want to do this?”
[15:31] 1 tc The translation follows 4QSama, part of the Greek tradition, the Syriac Peshitta, Targum, and Vulgate uldavid in reading “and to David,” rather than MT וְדָוִד (vÿdavid, “and David”). As Driver points out, the Hebrew verb הִגִּיד (higgid, “he related”) never uses the accusative for the person to whom something is told (S. R. Driver, Notes on the Hebrew Text and the Topography of the Books of Samuel, 316).
