2 Samuel 4:7
head Taking ... head <07218 03947> [took his head.]
When those difficulties dispirit us which should rather invigorate us and sharpen our endeavours, we betray a carelessness of character which is soon taken advantage of by our more watchful neighbours. Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty and ruin. The idle soul is an easy prey to the destroyer.
2 Samuel 8:2
defeated <05221> [he smote.]
measure ... off ... put <04058> [measured.]
Moabites ............................... Moabites <04124> [And so.]

2 Samuel 12:3
little <06996 0259> [one little.]
food <06595> [meat. Heb. morsel. lay in his.]
2 Samuel 12:11
bring <06965> [I will raise.]
take <03947> [I will take.]
That is, in the course of my providence I will permit this to be done. Such phrases in Scripture do not mean that God either does or can do evil himself; but only that he permits such evil to be done as he foresaw would be done, and which, had he pleased, he might have prevented.
2 Samuel 13:5-6
Lie down <07901> [Lay thee.]
