2 Samuel 2:3

2:3 David also brought along the men who were with him, each with his family. They settled in the cities of Hebron.

2 Samuel 15:29

15:29 So Zadok and Abiathar took the ark of God back to Jerusalem and remained there.


tc The expression “the cities of Hebron” is odd; we would expect the noun to be in the singular, if used at all. Although the Syriac Peshitta has the expected reading “in Hebron,” the MT is clearly the more difficult reading and should probably be retained here.
