2 Samuel 13:33

2 Samuel 17:2

17:2 When I catch up with ²  him he will be exhausted and worn out. ³  I will rout him, and the entire army that is with him will flee. I will kill only the king

¹ tn The words “when you come to see my face,” though found in the Hebrew text, are somewhat redundant given the similar expression in the earlier part of the verse. The words are absent from the Syriac Peshitta.

² tn Heb “and I will come upon him.”

³ tn Heb “exhausted and slack of hands.”
