2 Samuel 11:11

11:11 Uriah replied to David, “The ark and Israel and Judah reside in temporary shelters, and my lord Joab and my lord’s soldiers are camping in the open field. Should I go to my house to eat and drink and have marital relations ¹  with my wife? As surely as you are alive, ²  I will not do this thing!”

2 Samuel 12:4

12:4 “When a traveler arrived at the rich man’s home, ⁵  he did not want to use one of his own sheep or cattle to feed ⁶  the traveler who had come to visit him. ⁷  Instead, he took the poor man’s lamb and cooked ⁸  it for the man who had come to visit him.”

[11:11]  ¹ tn Heb “and lay.”

[11:11]  ² tn Heb “as you live and as your soul lives.”

[11:27]  ³ tn Heb “David sent and gathered her to his house.”

[11:27]  ⁴ tn Heb “and the thing which David had done was evil in the eyes of the Lord.” Note the verbal connection with v. 25. Though David did not regard the matter as evil, the Lord certainly did.

[12:4]  ⁵ tn Heb “came to the rich man.” In the translation “arrived at the rich man’s home” has been used for stylistic reasons.

[12:4]  ⁶ tn Heb “and he refused to take from his flock and from his herd to prepare [a meal] for.”

[12:4]  ⁷ tn Heb “who had come to him” (also a second time later in this verse). The word “visit” has been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons and for clarity.

[12:4]  ⁸ tn Heb “and prepared.”

[19:5]  ⁹ tn Heb “came to.”

[19:42]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “from the king.”

[23:18]  ¹¹ tc The translation follows the Qere, many medieval Hebrew mss, the LXX, and Vulgate in reading הַשְּׁלֹשָׁה (hashÿlosa, “the three”) rather than the Kethib of the MT הַשָּׁלִשִׁי (hashalisi, “the third,” or “adjutant”). Two medieval Hebrew mss and the Syriac Peshitta have “thirty.”

[23:18]  ¹² tn Heb “and he was wielding his spear against three hundred, [who were] slain, and to him there was a name among the three.”
