Discovery Box2 Samuel 13:18 
Context13:18 (Now she was wearing a long robe, 1 for this is what the king’s virgin daughters used to wear.) So Amnon’s 2 attendant removed her and bolted the door 3 behind her.
2 Samuel 19:5
Context19:5 So Joab visited 4 the king at his home. He said, “Today you have embarrassed all your servants who have saved your life this day, as well as the lives of your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your concubines.
1 tn The Hebrew expression used here (כְּתֹנֶת פַּסִּים, kÿtonet passim) is found only here and in Gen 37:3, 23, 32. Hebrew פַּס (pas) can refer to the palm of the hand or the sole of the foot; here the idea is probably that of a long robe reaching to the feet and having sleeves reaching to the wrists. The notion of a “coat of many colors” (KJV, ASV “garment of divers colors”), a familiar translation for the phrase in Genesis, is based primarily on the translation adopted in the LXX χιτῶνα ποικίλον (citona poikilion) and does not have a great deal of support.
2 tn Heb “his”; the referent (Amnon) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
3 tn The Hebrew verb is a perfect with nonconsecutive vav, probably indicating an action (locking the door) that complements the preceding one (pushing her out the door).
4 tn Heb “came to.”
