tn Heb “Go, return.”

tn Heb “and wash your feet.”

tn Heb “and there went out after him the gift of the king.”

tn Heb “and the Lord struck the child…and he was ill.” It is necessary to repeat “the child” in the translation to make clear who became ill, since “the Lord struck the child that Uriah’s wife had borne to David, and he became very ill” could be understood to mean that David himself became ill.

tn Heb “to his place.”
