2 Samuel 10:15

10:15 When the Arameans realized that they had been defeated by Israel, they consolidated their forces. ¹ 

2 Samuel 2:17

2:17 Now the battle was very severe that day; Abner and the men of Israel were overcome by David’s soldiers. ² 

2 Samuel 12:15

12:15 Then Nathan went to his home. The Lord struck the child that Uriah’s wife had borne to David, and the child became very ill. ³ 

2 Samuel 18:7

18:7 The army of Israel was defeated there by David’s men. ⁴  The slaughter there was great that day – 20,000 soldiers were killed.

2 Samuel 10:19

10:19 When all the kings who were subject to Hadadezer ⁵  saw they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with Israel and became subjects of Israel. ⁶  The Arameans were no longer willing to help the Ammonites.

[10:15]  ¹ tn Heb “were gathered together.”

[2:17]  ² tn Heb “servants.” So also elsewhere.

[12:15]  ³ tn Heb “and the Lord struck the child…and he was ill.” It is necessary to repeat “the child” in the translation to make clear who became ill, since “the Lord struck the child that Uriah’s wife had borne to David, and he became very ill” could be understood to mean that David himself became ill.

[18:7]  ⁴ tn Heb “servants” (also in v. 9).

[10:19]  ⁵ tn Heb “the servants of Hadadezer.”

[10:19]  ⁶ tn Heb “and they served them.”
