2 Samuel 1:24

1:24 O daughters of Israel, weep over Saul,

who clothed you in scarlet ¹  as well as jewelry,

who put gold jewelry on your clothes.

2 Samuel 3:14

3:14 David sent messengers to Ish-bosheth son of Saul with this demand: ²  “Give me my wife Michal whom I acquired ³  for a hundred Philistine foreskins.”

2 Samuel 10:5

10:5 Messengers ⁴  told David what had happened, ⁵  so he summoned them, for the men were thoroughly humiliated. The king said, “Stay in Jericho ⁶  until your beards have grown again; then you may come back.”

[1:24]  ¹ sn Clothing of scarlet was expensive and beyond the financial reach of most people.

[3:14]  ² tn Heb “to Ish-bosheth son of Saul saying.” To avoid excessive sibilance (especially when read aloud) the translation renders “saying” as “with this demand.”

[3:14]  ³ tn Heb “whom I betrothed to myself.”

[10:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “they”; the referent (the messengers) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[10:5]  ⁵ tn The words “what had happened” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.
