2 Samuel 3:25
Konteks3:25 You know Abner the son of Ner! Surely he came here to spy on you and to determine when you leave and when you return 1 and to discover everything that you are doing!”
2 Samuel 17:8
Konteks17:8 Hushai went on to say, “You know your father and his men – they are soldiers and are as dangerous as a bear out in the wild that has been robbed of her cubs. 2 Your father is an experienced soldier; he will not stay overnight with the army.
[3:25] 1 tn Heb “your going out and your coming in.” The expression is a merism. It specifically mentions the polar extremities of the actions but includes all activity in between the extremities as well, thus encompassing the entirety of one’s activities.
[17:8] 2 tc The LXX (with the exception of the recensions of Origen and Lucian) repeats the description as follows: “Just as a female bear bereft of cubs in a field.”
