¹ tn Heb “cut off.”

² tn Heb “and I will make for you a great name like the name of the great ones who are in the earth.”

³ tn Heb “also them King David made holy to the Lord.”

⁴ tn Heb “with the silver and the gold that he had dedicated from.”

⁵ tc With the exception of the Lucianic recension, the Old Greek translation has here “sevenfold” rather than “fourfold,” a reading that S. R. Driver thought probably to be the original reading (S. R. Driver, Notes on the Hebrew Text and the Topography of the Books of Samuel, 291). However, Exod 22:1 [21:37 HT] specifies fourfold repayment for a stolen sheep, which is consistent with 2 Sam 12:6. Some mss of the Targum and the Syriac Peshitta exaggerate the idea to “fortyfold.”

⁷ tn Heb “and Amnon hated her with very great hatred.”

⁸ tn Heb “for greater was the hatred with which he hated her than the love with which he loved her.”

⁹ tn Heb “takes delight in.”
