2 Samuel 7:12

7:12 When the time comes for you to die, ¹  I will raise up your descendant, one of your own sons, to succeed you, ²  and I will establish his kingdom.

2 Samuel 16:11

16:11 Then David said to Abishai and to all his servants, “My own son, my very own flesh and blood, ³  is trying to take my life. So also now this Benjaminite! Leave him alone so that he can curse, for the Lord has spoken to him.

2 Samuel 20:10

20:10 Amasa did not protect himself from the knife in Joab’s other hand, and Joab ⁴  stabbed him in the abdomen, causing Amasa’s ⁵  intestines to spill out on the ground. There was no need to stab him again; the first blow was fatal. ⁶  Then Joab and his brother Abishai pursued Sheba son of Bicri.

[7:12]  ¹ tn Heb, “when your days are full and you lie down with your ancestors.”

[7:12]  ² tn Heb “your seed after you who comes out from your insides.”

[16:11]  ³ tn Heb “who came out from my entrails.” David’s point is that is his own son, his child whom he himself had fathered, was now wanting to kill him.

[20:10]  ⁵ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Joab) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[20:10]  ⁶ tn Heb “his”; the referent (Amasa) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[20:10]  ⁷ tn Heb “and he did not repeat concerning him, and he died.”
