2 Samuel 10:6

Context

10:6 When the Ammonites realized that David was disgusted with them, 1  they 2  sent and hired 20,000 foot soldiers from Aram Beth Rehob and Aram Zobah, 3  in addition to 1,000 men from the king of Maacah and 12,000 men from Ish-tob. 4 

2 Samuel 12:18

Context

12:18 On the seventh day the child died. But the servants of David were afraid to inform him that the child had died, for they said, “While the child was still alive he would not listen to us 5  when we spoke to him. How can we tell him that the child is dead? He will do himself harm!” 6

[10:6]  1 tn Heb “that they were a stench [i.e., disgusting] with David.”

[10:6]  2 tn Heb “the Ammonites.”

[10:6]  3 tn Or “Arameans of Beth Rehob and Arameans of Zobah.”

[10:6]  4 tn Or perhaps “the men of Tob.” The ancient versions (the LXX, the Syriac Peshitta, and Vulgate) understand the name to be “Ish-tob.” It is possible that “Ish” is dittographic and that we should read simply “Tob,” a reading adopted by a number of recent English versions.

[12:18]  5 tn Heb “to our voice.”

[12:18]  6 tn Heb “he will do harm.” The object is not stated in the Hebrew text. The statement may be intentionally vague, meaning that he might harm himself or them!
