2 Samuel 13:23

Absalom Has Amnon Put to Death

13:23 Two years later Absalom’s sheepshearers were in Baal Hazor, ⁴  near Ephraim. Absalom invited all the king’s sons.

[3:13]  ¹ tn The words “when you come to see my face,” though found in the Hebrew text, are somewhat redundant given the similar expression in the earlier part of the verse. The words are absent from the Syriac Peshitta.

[3:22]  ² tn Heb “And look, the servants of David.”

[3:22]  ³ tn Heb “he”; the referent (David) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
