2 Samuel 19:13

19:13 Say to Amasa, ‘Are you not my flesh and blood? ¹  God will punish me severely, ²  if from this time on you are not the commander of my army in place of Joab!’”

2 Samuel 21:14

21:14 They buried the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan in the land of Benjamin at Zela in the grave of his father Kish. After they had done everything ³  that the king had commanded, God responded to their prayers ⁴  for the land.

¹ tn Heb “my bone and my flesh.”

² tn Heb “Thus God will do to me and thus he will add.”

³ tc Many medieval Hebrew mss have here כְּכֹל (kÿkhol, “according to all”).

⁴ tn Heb “was entreated.” The verb is an example of the so-called niphal tolerativum, with the sense that God allowed himself to be supplicated through prayer (cf. GKC 137 §51.c).
