2 Samuel 5:1

2 Samuel 7:20

7:20 What more can David say to you? You have given your servant special recognition, ²  O Lord God!

¹ tn Heb “look we are your bone and your flesh.”

² 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.”
