2 Samuel 2:4

2:4 The men of Judah came and there they anointed David as king over the people ¹  of Judah.

David was told, ²  “The people ³  of Jabesh Gilead are the ones who buried Saul.”

2 Samuel 11:10

11:10 So they informed David, “Uriah has not gone down to his house.” So David said to Uriah, “Haven’t you just arrived from a journey? Why haven’t you gone down to your house?”

2 Samuel 17:21

17:21 After the men had left, Ahimaaz and Jonathan ⁴  climbed out of the well. Then they left and informed King David. They advised David, “Get up and cross the stream ⁵  quickly, for Ahithophel has devised a plan to catch you.” ⁶ 

[2:4]  ¹ tn Heb “house.”

[2:4]  ² tn Heb “and they told David.” The subject appears to be indefinite, allowing one to translate the verb as passive with David as subject.

[2:4]  ³ tn Heb “men.”

[17:21]  ⁴ tn Heb “they”; the referents (Ahimaaz and Jonathan) have been specified in the translation for clarity.

[17:21]  ⁵ tn Heb “the water.”

[17:21]  ⁶ tn Heb “for thus Ahithophel has devised against you.” The expression “thus” is narrative shorthand, referring to the plan outlined by Ahithophel (see vv. 1-3). The men would surely have outlined the plan in as much detail as they had been given by the messenger.
