2 Samuel 2:14

Context
2:14 Abner said to Joab, “Let the soldiers get up and fight 1  before us.” Joab said, “So be it!” 2 

1 tn Heb “play.” What is in view here is a gladiatorial contest in which representative groups of soldiers engage in mortal combat before the watching armies. Cf. NAB “perform for us”; NASB “hold (have NRSV) a contest before us”; NLT “put on an exhibition of hand-to-hand combat.”

2 tn Heb “let them arise.”
