2 Samuel 9:10

9:10 You will cultivate ¹  the land for him – you and your sons and your servants. You will bring its produce ²  and it will be ³  food for your master’s grandson to eat. ⁴  But Mephibosheth, your master’s grandson, will be a regular guest at my table.” (Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.)

¹ tn Heb “work.”

² tn The Hebrew text implies, but does not actually contain, the words “its produce” here.

³ tc The words “it will be,” though present in the MT, are absent from the LXX, the Syriac Peshitta, and Vulgate.

⁴ tn Heb “and he will eat it.”
