2 Samuel 12:8

12:8 I gave you your master’s house, and put your master’s wives into your arms. ¹  I also gave you the house of Israel and Judah. And if all that somehow seems insignificant, I would have given you so much more as well!

2 Samuel 4:6

4:6 They ²  entered the house under the pretense of getting wheat and mortally wounded him ³  in the stomach. Then Recab and his brother Baanah escaped.

[12:8]  ¹ tn Heb “and the wives of your lord into your chest [or “lap”].” The words “I put” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons and for clarification.

[4:6]  ² tc For the MT’s וְהֵנָּה (vÿhennah, “and they,” feminine) read וְהִנֵּה (vÿhinneh, “and behold”). See the LXX, Syriac Peshitta, and Targum.

[4:6]  ³ tn Heb “and they struck him down.”
