2 Samuel 19:6

19:6 You seem to love your enemies and hate your friends! For you have as much as declared today that leaders and servants don’t matter to you. I realize now ²  that if ³  Absalom were alive and all of us were dead today, ⁴  it would be all right with you.

¹ tn Heb “and you will eat food over my table continually.”

² tn Heb “today.”

³ tc The translation follows the Qere, 4QSam^a, and many medieval Hebrew mss in reading לוּ (lu, “if”) rather than MT לֹא (lo’, “not”).

⁴ tc The Lucianic Greek recension and Syriac Peshitta lack “today.”
