David’s Final Words

23:1 These are the final words of David:

“The oracle of David son of Jesse,

the oracle of the man raised up as

the ruler chosen by the God of Jacob, ⁷ 

Israel’s beloved ⁸  singer of songs:

2 Samuel 11:25

11:25 David said to the messenger, “Tell Joab, ‘Don’t let this thing upset you. ⁹  There is no way to anticipate whom the sword will cut down. ¹⁰  Press the battle against the city and conquer ¹¹  it.’ Encourage him with these words.” ¹²

Colossians 1:1

Salutation

1:1 From Paul, ¹⁴  an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

¹ tn Heb “after him.”

² tc This follows the Qere and many medieval Hebrew mss in reading דֹּדוֹ (dodo) rather than the Kethib of the MT דֹּדַי (dodai; cf. ASV, NIV, NLT). But see 1 Chr 27:4.

³ tn Heb “went up.”

⁴ tn The meaning of Hebrew אֶל־קָצִיר (’el qatsir) seems here to be “at the time of harvest,” although this is an unusual use of the phrase. As S. R. Driver points out, this preposition does not normally have the temporal sense of “in” or “during” (S. R. Driver, Notes on the Hebrew Text and the Topography of the Books of Samuel, 366).

⁵ tc The translation follows the Qere and many medieval Hebrew mss in reading שְׁלֹשָׁה (shÿloshah, “three”) rather than the Kethib of the MT שְׁלֹשִׁים (shÿloshim, “thirty”). “Thirty” is due to dittography of the following word and makes no sense in the context.

⁶ tn Heb “went down…and approached.”

⁷ tn Heb “the anointed one of the God of Jacob.”

⁸ tn Or “pleasant.”

⁹ tn Heb “let not this matter be evil in your eyes.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “according to this and according to this the sword devours.”

¹¹ tn Heb “overthrow.”

¹² tn The Hebrew text does not have “with these words.” They are supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

¹³ tn The Greek is difficult to translate because it switches from a generic “he” to three people within this generic class (thus, something like: “Who indeed bears fruit and yields, in one instance a hundred times, in another, sixty times, in another, thirty times”).

¹⁴ tn Grk “Paul.” The word “from” is not in the Greek text, but has been supplied to indicate the sender of the letter.
