2 Samuel 13:33

Context
13:33 Now don’t let my lord the king be concerned about the report that has come saying, ‘All the king’s sons are dead.’ It is only Amnon who is dead.”

2 Samuel 14:24

Context
14:24 But the king said, “Let him go over 1  to his own house. He may not see my face.” So Absalom went over 2  to his own house; he did not see the king’s face.

2 Samuel 19:26

Context
19:26 He replied, “My lord the king, my servant deceived me! I 3  said, ‘Let me get my donkey saddled so that I can ride on it and go with the king,’ for I 4  am lame.

2 Samuel 21:6

Context
21:6 let seven of his male descendants be turned over to us, and we will execute 5  them before the Lord in Gibeah of Saul, who was the Lord’s chosen one.” 6  The king replied, “I will turn them over.”

1 tn Heb “turn aside.”

2 tn Heb “turned aside.”

3 tn Heb “your servant.”

4 tn Heb “your servant.”

5 tn The exact nature of this execution is not altogether clear. The verb יָקַע (yaqa’) basically means “to dislocate” or “alienate.” In Gen 32:26 it is used of the dislocation of Jacob’s thigh. Figuratively it can refer to the removal of an individual from a group (e.g., Jer 6:8; Ezek 23:17) or to a type of punishment the specific identity of which is uncertain (e.g., here and Num 25:4); cf. NAB “dismember them”; NIV “to be killed and exposed.”

6 tc The LXX reads “at Gibeon on the mountain of the Lord” (cf. 21:9). The present translation follows the MT, although a number of recent English translations follow the LXX reading here (e.g., NAB, NRSV, NLT).
