2 Samuel 7:19
Konteks7:19 And you didn’t stop there, O Lord God! You have also spoken about the future of your servant’s family. 1 Is this your usual way of dealing with men, 2 O Lord God?
2 Samuel 12:9
Konteks12:9 Why have you shown contempt for the word of the Lord by doing evil in my 3 sight? You have struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword and you have taken his wife as your own! 4 You have killed him with the sword of the Ammonites.
2 Samuel 13:32
Konteks13:32 Jonadab, the son of David’s brother Shimeah, said, “My lord should not say, ‘They have killed all the young men who are the king’s sons.’ For only Amnon is dead. This is what Absalom has talked about 5 from the day that Amnon 6 humiliated his sister Tamar.
2 Samuel 15:2
Konteks15:2 Now Absalom used to get up early and stand beside the road that led to the city gate. Whenever anyone came by who had a complaint to bring to the king for arbitration, Absalom would call out to him, “What city are you from?” The person would answer, “I, your servant, 7 am from one of the tribes of Israel.”
[7:19] 1 tn Heb “and this was small in your eyes, O
[7:19] 2 tn Heb “and this [is] the law of man”; KJV “is this the manner of man, O Lord God?”; NAB “this too you have shown to man”; NRSV “May this be instruction for the people, O Lord God!” This part of the verse is very enigmatic; no completely satisfying solution has yet been suggested. The present translation tries to make sense of the MT by understanding the phrase as a question that underscores the uniqueness of God’s dealings with David as described here. The parallel passage in 1 Chr 17:17 reads differently (see the note there).
[12:9] 3 tc So the Qere; the Kethib has “his.”
[12:9] 4 tn Heb “to you for a wife.” This expression also occurs at the end of v. 10.
[13:32] 5 tn Heb “it was placed on the mouth of Absalom.”
[13:32] 6 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Amnon) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
