2 Samuel 22:39

Context

22:39 I wipe them out and beat them to death;

they cannot get up;

they fall at my feet.

1 tn Heb “play.” What is in view here is a gladiatorial contest in which representative groups of soldiers engage in mortal combat before the watching armies. Cf. NAB “perform for us”; NASB “hold (have NRSV) a contest before us”; NLT “put on an exhibition of hand-to-hand combat.”

2 tn Heb “let them arise.”
