2 Samuel 4:10-11

4:10 when someone told me that Saul was dead – even though he thought he was bringing good news ¹  – I seized him and killed him in Ziklag. That was the good news I gave to him! 4:11 Surely when wicked men have killed an innocent man as he slept ²  in his own house, should I not now require his blood from your hands and remove ³  you from the earth?”

[4:10]  ¹ tn Heb “and he was like a bearer of good news in his eyes.”

[4:11]  ² tn Heb “on his bed.”

[4:11]  ³ tn See HALOT 146 s.v. II בער. Some derive the verb from a homonym meaning “to burn; to consume.”
