2 Samuel 20:24

1 tc A few medieval Hebrew mss, the LXX, and the Syriac Peshitta add “the prophet.” The words are included in a few modern English version (e.g., TEV, CEV, NLT).

2 tn Heb “him”; the referent (David) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

3 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Nathan) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

4 tn The Hebrew text repeats “to him.”

2 Samuel 20:26

5 tn Heb “his sons.”

6 tn The three Hebrew imperfect verbal forms in this sentence have a customary nuance; they describe past actions that were repeated or typical.

7 tn Heb “from his morsel.”

8 tn Heb “and on his chest [or perhaps, “lap”] it would lay.”
