2 Samuel 3:3

3:3 His second son ¹  was Kileab, born to Abigail the widow ²  of Nabal the Carmelite. His third son was Absalom, the son of Maacah daughter of King Talmai of Geshur.

2 Samuel 11:3

11:3 So David sent someone to inquire about the woman. The messenger ³  said, “Isn’t this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?”

2 Samuel 12:10

12:10 So now the sword will never depart from your house. For you have despised me by taking the wife of Uriah the Hittite as your own!’

2 Samuel 12:15

12:15 Then Nathan went to his home. The Lord struck the child that Uriah’s wife had borne to David, and the child became very ill. ⁴ 

[3:3]  ¹ tn The Hebrew text does not have the word “son.” So also in vv. 3-5.

[3:3]  ² tn Heb “wife.”

[11:3]  ³ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the messenger) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[12:15]  ⁵ tn Heb “and the Lord struck the child…and he was ill.” It is necessary to repeat “the child” in the translation to make clear who became ill, since “the Lord struck the child that Uriah’s wife had borne to David, and he became very ill” could be understood to mean that David himself became ill.
