2 Samuel 11:26

11:26 When Uriah’s wife heard that her husband Uriah was dead, she mourned for him. ¹ 

2 Samuel 1:6

1:6 The young man who was telling him this ²  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 21:12

21:12 he ³  went and took the bones of Saul and of his son Jonathan ⁴  from the leaders ⁵  of Jabesh Gilead. (They had secretly taken ⁶  them from the plaza at Beth Shan. It was there that Philistines ⁷  publicly exposed their corpses ⁸  after ⁹  they ¹⁰  had killed Saul at Gilboa.)

[11:26]  ¹ tn Heb “for her lord.”

[1:6]  ² tc The Syriac Peshitta and one ms of the LXX lack the words “who was telling him this” of the MT.

[21:12]  ³ tn Heb “David.” For stylistic reasons the name has been replaced by the pronoun (“he”) in the translation.

[21:12]  ⁴ tn Heb “the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son.” See also v. 13.

[21:12]  ⁵ tn Heb “lords.”

[21:12]  ⁶ tn Heb “stolen.”

[21:12]  ⁷ tc Against the MT, this word is better read without the definite article. The MT reading is probably here the result of wrong word division, with the letter ה (he) belonging with the preceding word שָׁם (sham) as the he directive (i.e., שָׁמָּה, samah, “to there”).

[21:12]  ⁸ tn Heb “had hung them.”

[21:12]  ⁹ tn Heb “in the day.”

[21:12]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “Philistines.”
