2 Samuel 16:11

16:11 Then David said to Abishai and to all his servants, “My own son, my very own flesh and blood, ¹  is trying to take my life. So also now this Benjaminite! Leave him alone so that he can curse, for the Lord has spoken to him.

2 Samuel 20:10

20:10 Amasa did not protect himself from the knife in Joab’s other hand, and Joab ²  stabbed him in the abdomen, causing Amasa’s ³  intestines to spill out on the ground. There was no need to stab him again; the first blow was fatal. ⁴  Then Joab and his brother Abishai pursued Sheba son of Bicri.

¹ tn Heb “who came out from my entrails.” David’s point is that is his own son, his child whom he himself had fathered, was now wanting to kill him.

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

³ tn Heb “his”; the referent (Amasa) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁴ tn Heb “and he did not repeat concerning him, and he died.”
