2 Samuel 15:35

15:35 Zadok and Abiathar the priests will be there with you. 1  Everything you hear in the king’s palace 2  you must tell Zadok and Abiathar the priests.

2 Samuel 13:4

13:4 He asked Amnon, 3  “Why are you, the king’s son, 4  so depressed every morning? Can’t you tell me?” So Amnon said to him, “I’m in love with Tamar the sister of my brother Absalom.”

1 tn Heb “Will not Zadok and Abiathar the priests be there with you?” The rhetorical question draws attention to the fact that Hushai will not be alone.

2 tn Heb “from the house of the king.”

3 tn Heb “and he said to him.”

4 tn An more idiomatic translation might be “Why are you of all people…?”
