2 Samuel 9:7

9:7 David said to him, “Don’t be afraid, because I will certainly extend kindness to you for the sake of Jonathan your father. You will be a regular guest at my table.” ¹ 

2 Samuel 19:6

19:6 You seem to love your enemies and hate your friends! For you have as much as declared today that leaders and servants don’t matter to you. I realize now ²  that if ³  Absalom were alive and all of us were dead today, ⁴  it would be all right with you.

[9:7]  ¹ tn Heb “and you will eat food over my table continually.”

[19:6]  ² tn Heb “today.”

[19:6]  ³ tc The translation follows the Qere, 4QSam^a, and many medieval Hebrew mss in reading לוּ (lu, “if”) rather than MT לֹא (lo’, “not”).

[19:6]  ⁴ tc The Lucianic Greek recension and Syriac Peshitta lack “today.”
