19:11 Then King David sent a message to Zadok and Abiathar the priests saying, “Tell the elders of Judah, ‘Why should you delay any further in bringing the king back to his palace, 1 when everything Israel is saying has come to the king’s attention. 2 19:12 You are my brothers – my very own flesh and blood! 3 Why should you delay any further in bringing the king back?’
1 tn Heb “his house.”
2 tc The Hebrew text adds “to his house” (= palace), but the phrase, which also appears earlier in the verse, is probably accidentally repeated here.
3 tn Heb “my bone and my flesh.”
