Discovery Box2 Samuel 13:28

2 Samuel 14:16
Context14:16 Yes! 3 The king may 4 listen and deliver his female servant 5 from the hand of the man who seeks to remove 6 both me and my son from the inheritance God has given us!’ 7
1 tn Heb “when good is the heart of Amnon with wine.”
2 tn Heb “and become sons of valor.”
3 tn Or “for.”
4 tn Or “will.” The imperfect verbal form can have either an indicative or modal nuance. The use of “perhaps” in v. 15b suggests the latter here.
5 tn Heb “in order to deliver his maid.”
6 tn Heb “destroy.”
7 tn Heb “from the inheritance of God.” The expression refers to the property that was granted to her family line in the division of the land authorized by God.
