2 Samuel 1:6

1:6 The young man who was telling him this ¹  said, “I just happened to be on Mount Gilboa and came across Saul leaning on his spear for support. The chariots and leaders of the horsemen were in hot pursuit of him.

2 Samuel 14:30

14:30 So he said to his servants, “Look, Joab has a portion of field adjacent to mine and he has some barley there. Go and set it on fire.” ²  So Absalom’s servants set Joab’s ³  portion of the field on fire.

[1:6]  ¹ tc The Syriac Peshitta and one ms of the LXX lack the words “who was telling him this” of the MT.

[14:30]  ² tc The LXX adds here the following words: “And the servants of Absalom burned them up. And the servants of Joab came to him, rending their garments. They said….”

[14:30]  ³ tn The word “Joab’s” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.
