2 Samuel 15:12

2 Samuel 23:10

23:10 he stood his ground ³  and fought the Philistines until his hand grew so tired that it ⁴  seemed stuck to his sword. The Lord gave a great victory on that day. When the army returned to him, the only thing left to do was to plunder the corpses.

[15:12]  ¹ tn Traditionally, “counselor,” but this term is more often associated with psychological counseling today, so “adviser” was used in the translation instead.

[15:12]  ² tn Heb “Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, the adviser of David, from his city, from Giloh, while he was sacrificing.” It is not entirely clear who (Absalom or Ahithophel) was offering the sacrifices.

[23:10]  ³ tn Heb “arose.”

[23:10]  ⁴ tn Heb “his hand.”
