tn Heb “from upon me.”

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).

tn Heb “lie with me” (so NAB, NASB, NRSV); NCV “come and have sexual relations with me.”

tn Heb “and Amnon hated her with very great hatred.”

tn Heb “for greater was the hatred with which he hated her than the love with which he loved her.”
