2 Samuel 4:1

Ish-bosheth is killed

4:1 When Ish-bosheth ¹  the son of Saul heard that Abner had died in Hebron, he was very disheartened, ²  and all Israel was afraid.

2 Samuel 24:16

24:16 When the angel ³  extended his hand to destroy Jerusalem, the Lord relented from his judgment. ⁴  He told the angel who was killing the people, “That’s enough! Stop now!” ⁵  (Now the Lord’s angel was near the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.)

[4:1]  ¹ tn The MT does not specify the subject of the verb here, but the reference is to Ish-bosheth, so the name has been supplied in the translation for clarity. 4QSam^a and the LXX mistakenly read “Mephibosheth.”

[4:1]  ² tn Heb “his hands went slack.”

[24:16]  ³ tn Heb “messenger.”

[24:16]  ⁴ tn Heb “concerning the calamity.”

[24:16]  ⁵ tn Heb “Now, drop your hand.”
