2 Samuel 5:2
leader <03318> [leddest out.]
shepherd <07462> [feed.]
rule <05057> [a captain.]
2 Samuel 7:7
moved among <01980> [walked.]
any .... leaders <07626 0259> [any of the tribes.]
[any of the judges.]
Instead of [shbty,] {shivtey,} "tribes," we should probably read, with Houbigant, Drs. Waterland and A. Clarke, and others, [shpty,] {shophtey,} "judges;" which is the reading in the parallel passage. Indeed there is but one letter of difference between them, and letters which might be easily mistaken for each other; the apex under the upper stroke of the [p,] {pay,} being the only mark to distinguish it from the [b,] {baith.} Compare with ver. 11.
care for <07462> [feed.]
2 Samuel 21:2
Gibeonites ........ Gibeonites <01393> [now the.]
Amorites <0567> [the Amorites.]
The Gibeonites were Hivites, not Amorites, as appears from Jos 6:19; but Amorites is a name often given to the Canaanites in general.
zeal <07065> [in his zeal.]
