3:14 David sent messengers to Ish-bosheth son of Saul with this demand: 1 “Give me my wife Michal whom I acquired 2 for a hundred Philistine foreskins.” 3:15 So Ish-bosheth took her 3 from her husband Paltiel 4 son of Laish. 3:16 Her husband went along behind her, weeping all the way to Bahurim. Finally Abner said to him, “Go back!” 5 So he returned home.
1 tn Heb “to Ish-bosheth son of Saul saying.” To avoid excessive sibilance (especially when read aloud) the translation renders “saying” as “with this demand.”
2 tn Heb “whom I betrothed to myself.”
3 tn Heb “sent and took her.”
4 tn In 1 Sam 25:44 this name appears as “Palti.”
5 tn Heb “Go, return.”
