2 Samuel 7:20
Context7:20 What more can David say to you? You have given your servant special recognition, 1 O Lord God!
2 Samuel 19:28
Context19:28 After all, there was no one in the entire house of my grandfather 2 who did not deserve death from my lord the king. But instead you allowed me to eat at your own table! 3 What further claim do I have to ask 4 the king for anything?”


[7:20] 1 tn Heb “and you know your servant.” The verb here refers to recognizing another in a special way and giving them special treatment (see 1 Chr 17:18). Some English versions take this to refer to the Lord’s knowledge of David himself: CEV “you know my thoughts”; NLT “know what I am really like.”
[19:28] 3 tn Heb “and you placed your servant among those who eat at your table.”
