2 Samuel 3:34

3:34 Your hands ¹  were not bound,

and your feet were not put into irons.

You fell the way one falls before criminals.”

All the people ²  wept over him again.

2 Samuel 11:23

11:23 The messenger said to David, “The men overpowered us and attacked us ³  in the field. But we forced them to retreat all the way ⁴  to the door of the city gate.

[3:34]  ¹ tc The translation follows many medieval Hebrew manuscripts and several ancient versions in reading “your hands,” rather than “your hand.”

[3:34]  ² tc 4QSam^a lacks the words “all the people.”

[11:23]  ³ tn Heb “and came out to us.”

[11:23]  ⁴ tn Heb “but we were on them.”
