2 Samuel 15:17

15:17 The king and all the people set out on foot, pausing ¹  at a spot ²  some distance away.

2 Samuel 22:20

22:20 He brought me out into a wide open place;

he delivered me because he was pleased with me. ³ 

2 Samuel 22:49

22:49 He delivers me from my enemies; ⁴ 

you snatch me away ⁵  from those who attack me; ⁶ 

you rescue me from violent men.

[15:17]  ¹ tn Heb “and they stood.”

[15:17]  ² tn Heb “house.”

[22:20]  ³ tn Or “delighted in me” (so KJV, NASB, NIV, NRSV).

[22:49]  ⁵ tn Heb “and [the one who] brings me out from my enemies.”

[22:49]  ⁶ tn Heb “you lift me up.” In light of the preceding and following references to deliverance, the verb רוּם (rum) probably here refers to being rescued from danger (see Ps 9:13). However, it could mean “exalt; elevate” here, indicating that the Lord has given him victory over his enemies and forced them to acknowledge the psalmist’s superiority.

[22:49]  ⁷ tn Heb “from those who rise against me.”
