2 Samuel 20:4

Context

20:4 Then the king said to Amasa, “Call the men of Judah together for me in three days, 5  and you be present here with them too.”

1 tn Heb “young men.”

2 tn On the chronology involved here see P. K. McCarter, II Samuel (AB), 287.

3 tn Heb “from upon me.”

4 tc A few medieval Hebrew mss have “and they removed everyone” (Hiphil preterite with vav consecutive 3cp, rather than Qal preterite with vav consecutive 3cp).

5 tn The present translation follows the Masoretic accentuation, with the major mark of disjunction (i.e., the atnach) placed at the word “days.” However, some scholars have suggested moving the atnach to “Judah” a couple of words earlier. This would yield the following sense: “Three days, and you be present here with them.” The difference in meaning is slight, and the MT is acceptable as it stands.
