2 Samuel 1:13

1:13 David said to the young man who told this to him, “Where are you from?” He replied, “I am an Amalekite, the son of a resident foreigner.” ¹ 

2 Samuel 3:34

3:34 Your hands ²  were not bound,

and your feet were not put into irons.

You fell the way one falls before criminals.”

All the people ³  wept over him again.

[1:13]  ¹ tn The Hebrew word used here refers to a foreigner whose social standing was something less than that of native residents of the land, but something more than that of a nonresident alien who was merely passing through.

[3:34]  ² tc The translation follows many medieval Hebrew manuscripts and several ancient versions in reading “your hands,” rather than “your hand.”

[3:34]  ³ tc 4QSam^a lacks the words “all the people.”
