2 Samuel 19:10-11

19:10 But Absalom, whom we anointed as our king, ¹  has died in battle. So now why do you hesitate to bring the king back?” ² 

19:11 Then King David sent a message to Zadok and Abiathar the priests saying, “Tell the elders of Judah, ‘Why should you delay any further in bringing the king back to his palace, ³  when everything Israel is saying has come to the king’s attention. ⁴ 

2 Samuel 19:26

19:26 He replied, “My lord the king, my servant deceived me! I ⁵  said, ‘Let me get my donkey saddled so that I can ride on it and go with the king,’ for I ⁶  am lame.

2 Samuel 19:41

19:41 Then all the men of Israel began coming to the king. They asked the king, “Why did our brothers, the men of Judah, sneak the king away and help the king and his household cross the Jordan – and not only him but all of David’s men as well?”

[19:10]  ¹ tn Heb “over us.”

[19:10]  ² tc The LXX includes the following words at the end of v. 11: “And what all Israel was saying came to the king’s attention.” The words are misplaced in the LXX from v. 12 (although the same statement appears there in the LXX as well).

[19:11]  ³ tn Heb “his house.”

[19:11]  ⁴ tc The Hebrew text adds “to his house” (= palace), but the phrase, which also appears earlier in the verse, is probably accidentally repeated here.

[19:26]  ⁵ tn Heb “your servant.”

[19:26]  ⁶ tn Heb “your servant.”
