2 Samuel 12:9

12:9 Why have you shown contempt for the word of the Lord by doing evil in my ¹  sight? You have struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword and you have taken his wife as your own! ²  You have killed him with the sword of the Ammonites.

2 Samuel 19:6

19:6 You seem to love your enemies and hate your friends! For you have as much as declared today that leaders and servants don’t matter to you. I realize now ³  that if ⁴  Absalom were alive and all of us were dead today, ⁵  it would be all right with you.

[12:9]  ¹ tc So the Qere; the Kethib has “his.”

[12:9]  ² tn Heb “to you for a wife.” This expression also occurs at the end of v. 10.

[19:6]  ³ tn Heb “today.”

[19:6]  ⁴ tc The translation follows the Qere, 4QSam^a, and many medieval Hebrew mss in reading לוּ (lu, “if”) rather than MT לֹא (lo’, “not”).

[19:6]  ⁵ tc The Lucianic Greek recension and Syriac Peshitta lack “today.”
