2 Samuel 3:34

3:34 Your hands ¹  were not bound,

and your feet were not put into irons.

You fell the way one falls before criminals.”

All the people ²  wept over him again.

2 Samuel 24:14

24:14 David said to Gad, “I am very upset! I prefer that we be attacked by the Lord, for his mercy is great; I do not want to be attacked by men!” ³ 

[3:34]  ¹ tc The translation follows many medieval Hebrew manuscripts and several ancient versions in reading “your hands,” rather than “your hand.”

[3:34]  ² tc 4QSam^a lacks the words “all the people.”

[24:14]  ³ tn Heb “There is great distress to me. Let us fall into the hand of the Lord, for great is his mercy, but into the hand of man let me not fall.”
