2 Samuel 4:7

Context

4:7 They had entered 1  the house while Ish-bosheth 2  was resting on his bed in his bedroom. They mortally wounded him 3  and then cut off his head. 4  Taking his head, 5  they traveled on the way of the Arabah all that night.

2 Samuel 17:21

Context

17:21 After the men had left, Ahimaaz and Jonathan 6  climbed out of the well. Then they left and informed King David. They advised David, “Get up and cross the stream 7  quickly, for Ahithophel has devised a plan to catch you.” 8

[4:7]  1 tn After the concluding disjunctive clause at the end of v. 6, the author now begins a more detailed account of the murder and its aftermath.

[4:7]  2 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Ish-bosheth) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[4:7]  3 tn Heb “they struck him down and killed him.” The expression is a verbal hendiadys.

[4:7]  4 tn Heb “and they removed his head.” The Syriac Peshitta and Vulgate lack these words.

[4:7]  5 tc The Lucianic Greek recension lacks the words “his head.”

[17:21]  6 tn Heb “they”; the referents (Ahimaaz and Jonathan) have been specified in the translation for clarity.

[17:21]  7 tn Heb “the water.”

[17:21]  8 tn Heb “for thus Ahithophel has devised against you.” The expression “thus” is narrative shorthand, referring to the plan outlined by Ahithophel (see vv. 1-3). The men would surely have outlined the plan in as much detail as they had been given by the messenger.
