2 Samuel 15:2

15:2 Now Absalom used to get up early and stand beside the road that led to the city gate. Whenever anyone came by who had a complaint to bring to the king for arbitration, Absalom would call out to him, “What city are you from?” The person would answer, “I, your servant, ¹  am from one of the tribes of Israel.”

2 Samuel 20:12

20:12 Amasa was squirming in his own blood in the middle of the path, and this man had noticed that all the soldiers stopped. Having noticed that everyone who came across Amasa ²  stopped, the man ³  pulled him ⁴  away from the path and into the field and threw a garment over him.

¹ tn Heb “your servant.” So also in vv. 8, 15, 21.

² tn Heb “him”; the referent (Amasa) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

³ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the man who spoke up in v. 11) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁴ tn Heb “Amasa.” For stylistic reasons the name has been replaced by the pronoun (“him”) in the translation.
