19:6 You seem to love your enemies and hate your friends! For you have as much as declared today that leaders and servants don’t matter to you. I realize now 1 that if 2 Absalom were alive and all of us were dead today, 3 it would be all right with you.
1 tnHeb “today.”
2 tc The translation follows the Qere, 4QSama, and many medieval Hebrew mss in reading לוּ (lu, “if”) rather than MT לֹא (lo’, “not”).
3 tc The Lucianic Greek recension and Syriac Peshitta lack “today.”
