2 Samuel 16:17

16:17 Absalom said to Hushai, “Do you call this loyalty to your friend? Why didn’t you go with your friend?”

2 Samuel 22:51

22:51 He gives his chosen king magnificent victories; ¹ 

he is faithful to his chosen ruler, ² 

to David and to his descendants forever!”

[22:51]  ¹ tc The translation follows the Kethib and the ancient versions in reading מַגְדִּיל (magdil, “he magnifies”) rather than the Qere and many medieval Hebrew mss of the MT which read מִגְדּוֹל (migdol, “tower”). See Ps 18:50.

[22:51]  ² tn Heb “[the one who] does loyalty to his anointed one.”
