2 Samuel 6:6-8

6:6 When they arrived at the threshing floor of Nacon, ¹  Uzzah reached out and grabbed hold of ²  the ark of God, ³  because the oxen stumbled. 6:7 The Lord was so furious with Uzzah, ⁴  he ⁵  killed him on the spot ⁶  for his negligence. ⁷  He died right there beside the ark of God.

6:8 David was angry because the Lord attacked ⁸  Uzzah; so he called that place Perez Uzzah, ⁹  which remains its name to this very day.

Get in bed with me, ¹⁴  my sister!”

Salutation

1:1 From Paul, ²³  an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

[6:6]  ¹ tn 1 Chr 13:9 has “Kidon.”

[6:6]  ² tn Or “steadied.”

[6:6]  ³ tn Heb “and Uzzah reached out toward the ark of God and grabbed it.”

[6:7]  ⁴ tn Heb “and the anger of the Lord burned against Uzzah.”

[6:7]  ⁵ tn Heb “God.”

[6:7]  ⁶ tc Heb “there.” Since this same term occurs later in the verse it is translated “on the spot” here for stylistic reasons.

[6:7]  ⁷ tc The phrase “his negligence” is absent from the LXX.

[6:8]  ⁸ tn Heb “because the Lord broke out [with] a breaking out [i.e., an outburst] against Uzzah.”

[6:8]  ⁹ sn The name Perez Uzzah means in Hebrew “the outburst [against] Uzzah.”

[6:1]  ¹⁰ tn The translation understands the verb to be a defective spelling of וַיְּאֱסֹף (vayyÿ’esof) due to quiescence of the letter א (alef). The root therefore is אסף (’sf, “to gather”). The Masoretes, however, pointed the verb as וַיֹּסֶף (vayyosef), understanding it to be a form of יָסַף (yasaf, “to add”). This does not fit the context, which calls for a verb of gathering.

[6:1]  ¹¹ tn Or “chosen.”

[13:9]  ¹² tn Heb “from upon me.”

[13:9]  ¹³ tc A few medieval Hebrew mss have “and they removed everyone” (Hiphil preterite with vav consecutive 3cp, rather than Qal preterite with vav consecutive 3cp).

[13:11]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “lie with me” (so NAB, NASB, NRSV); NCV “come and have sexual relations with me.”

[15:13]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “the heart of the men of Israel is with Absalom.”

[15:2]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “your servant.” So also in vv. 8, 15, 21.

[1:15]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “young men.”

[1:18]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “be taught the bow.” The reference to “the bow” is very difficult here. Some interpreters (e.g., S. R. Driver, P. K. McCarter, Jr.) suggest deleting the word from the text (cf. NAB, TEV), but there does not seem to be sufficient evidence for doing so. Others (cf. KJV) understand the reference to be elliptical, meaning “the use of the bow.” The verse would then imply that with the deaths of Saul and Jonathan having occurred, a period of trying warfare is about to begin, requiring adequate preparation for war on the part of the younger generation. Various other views may also be found in the secondary literature. However, it seems best to understand the word here to be a reference to the name of a song (i.e., “The Bow”), most likely the poem that follows in vv. 19-27 (cf. ASV, NASB, NRSV, CEV, NLT); NIV “this lament of the bow.” To make this clear the words “the song of” are supplied in the translation.

[1:18]  ¹⁹ sn The Book of Yashar is a noncanonical writing no longer in existence. It is referred to here and in Josh 10:12-13 and 1 Kgs 8:12-13. It apparently was “a collection of ancient national poetry” (so BDB 449 s.v. יָשָׁר).

[1:19]  ²⁰ sn The word beauty is used figuratively here to refer to Saul and Jonathan.

[5:5]  ²¹ tn Or “fear came on,” “fear seized”; Grk “fear happened to.”

[5:10]  ²² tn Grk “And at once.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here.

[1:1]  ²³ tn Grk “Paul.” The word “from” is not in the Greek text, but has been supplied to indicate the sender of the letter.
