2 Samuel 2:4

2:4 The men of Judah came and there they anointed David as king over the people ¹  of Judah.

David was told, ²  “The people ³  of Jabesh Gilead are the ones who buried Saul.”

2 Samuel 14:33

14:33 So Joab went to the king and informed him. The king ⁴  summoned Absalom, and he came to the king. Absalom ⁵  bowed down before the king with his face toward the ground and the king kissed him. ⁶ 

[2:4]  ¹ tn Heb “house.”

[2:4]  ² tn Heb “and they told David.” The subject appears to be indefinite, allowing one to translate the verb as passive with David as subject.

[2:4]  ³ tn Heb “men.”

[14:33]  ⁴ tn Heb “he.” Joab, acting on behalf of the king, may be the implied subject.

[14:33]  ⁵ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Absalom) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[14:33]  ⁶ tn Heb “Absalom.” For stylistic reasons the name has been replaced by the pronoun (“him”) in the translation.
