1 Samuel 21:2

Context
21:2 David replied to Ahimelech the priest, “The king instructed me to do something, but he said to me, ‘Don’t let anyone know the reason I am sending you or the instructions I have given you.’ 1  I have told my soldiers 2  to wait at a certain place. 3 

1 Samuel 21:13

Context
21:13 He altered his behavior in their presence. 4  Since he was in their power, 5  he pretended to be insane, making marks on the doors of the gate and letting his saliva run down his beard.

1 tn Heb “let not a man know anything about the matter [for] which I am sending you and [about] which I commanded you.”

2 tn Heb “servants.”

3 tn The Hebrew expression here refers to a particular, but unnamed, place. It occurs in the OT only here, in 2 Kgs 6:8, and in Ruth 4:1, where Boaz uses it to refer to Naomi’s unnamed kinsman-redeemer. A contracted form of the expression appears in Dan 8:13.

4 tn Heb “in their eyes.”

5 tn Heb “in their hand.”
