2 Samuel 22:46

22:46 Foreigners lose their courage; ¹ 

they shake with fear ²  as they leave ³  their strongholds. ⁴ 

[22:46]  ¹ tn Heb “wither, wear out.”

[22:46]  ² tc The translation assumes a reading וְיַחְרְגוּ (vÿyakhrÿgu, “and they quaked”) rather than the MT וְיַחְגְּרוּ (vÿyakhgÿru, “and they girded themselves”). See the note at Ps 18:45.

[22:46]  ³ tn Heb “from.”

[22:46]  ⁴ tn Heb “prisons.” Their besieged cities are compared to prisons.
