2 Samuel 15:20
Context15:20 It seems like you arrived just yesterday. Today should I make you wander around by going with us? I go where I must go. But as for you, go back and take your men 1 with you. May genuine loyal love 2 protect 3 you!”
2 Samuel 19:6
Context19:6 You seem to love your enemies and hate your friends! For you have as much as declared today that leaders and servants don’t matter to you. I realize now 4 that if 5 Absalom were alive and all of us were dead today, 6 it would be all right with you.
1 tn Heb “brothers,” but see v. 22.
2 tn Heb “loyal love and truth.” The expression is a hendiadys.
3 tn Heb “be with.”
4 tn Heb “today.”
5 tc The translation follows the Qere, 4QSama, and many medieval Hebrew
6 tc The Lucianic Greek recension and Syriac Peshitta lack “today.”
