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 ¹  that if ²  Absalom were alive and all of us were dead today, ³  it would be all right with you.

2 Samuel 19:22

19:22 But David said, “What do we have in common, ⁴  you sons of Zeruiah? You are like my enemy today! Should anyone be put to death in Israel today? Don’t you realize that today I am king over Israel?”

[19:6]  ¹ tn Heb “today.”

[19:6]  ² 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]  ³ tc The Lucianic Greek recension and Syriac Peshitta lack “today.”

[19:22]  ⁴ tn Heb “what to me and to you.”
