2 Samuel 16:18

2 Samuel 23:12

23:12 But he made a stand in the middle of that area. He defended it and defeated the Philistines; the Lord gave them a great victory.


tn Heb “No for with the one whom the Lord has chosen, and this people, and all the men of Israel, I will be and with him I will stay.” The translation follows the Qere and several medieval Hebrew mss in reading לוֹ (lo, “[I will be] to him”) rather than the MT לֹא (lo’, “[I will] not be”), which makes very little sense here.

tn Heb “delivered.”
