2 Samuel 12:9

12:9 Why have you shown contempt for the word of the Lord by doing evil in my ¹  sight? You have struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword and you have taken his wife as your own! ²  You have killed him with the sword of the Ammonites.

2 Samuel 21:4

21:4 The Gibeonites said to him, “We ³  have no claim to silver or gold from Saul or from his family, ⁴  nor would we be justified in putting to death anyone in Israel.” David asked, ⁵  “What then are you asking me to do for you?”

[12:9]  ¹ tc So the Qere; the Kethib has “his.”

[12:9]  ² tn Heb “to you for a wife.” This expression also occurs at the end of v. 10.

[21:4]  ³ tc The translation follows the Qere and several medieval Hebrew mss in reading לָנוּ (lanu, “to us”) rather than the MT לִי (li, “to me”). But for a contrary opinion see S. R. Driver, Notes on the Hebrew Text and the Topography of the Books of Samuel, 53, 350.

[21:4]  ⁴ tn Heb “house.”

[21:4]  ⁵ tn Heb “and he said”; the referent (David) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
