2 Samuel 2:3

2:3 David also brought along the men who were with him, each with his family. They settled in the cities ¹  of Hebron.

2 Samuel 10:12

10:12 Be strong! Let’s fight bravely for the sake of our people and the cities of our God! The Lord will do what he decides is best!” ²

¹ tc The expression “the cities of Hebron” is odd; we would expect the noun to be in the singular, if used at all. Although the Syriac Peshitta has the expected reading “in Hebron,” the MT is clearly the more difficult reading and should probably be retained here.

² tn Heb “and the Lord will do what is good in his eyes.”
