2 Samuel 10:13

10:13 So Joab and his men ³  marched out to do battle with the Arameans, and they fled before him.

2 Samuel 17:24

17:24 Meanwhile David had gone to Mahanaim, while Absalom and all the men of Israel had crossed the Jordan River.

[2:3]  ¹ tc The expression “the cities of Hebron” is odd; we would expect the noun to be in the singular, if used at all. Although the Syriac Peshitta has the expected reading “in Hebron,” the MT is clearly the more difficult reading and should probably be retained here.

[8:15]  ² tn Heb “and David was doing what is just and fair for all his people.”

[10:13]  ³ tn Heb “and the army which was with him.”
