Discovery Box2 Samuel 3:13 
Context3:13 So David said, “Good! I will make an agreement with you. I ask only one thing from you. You will not see my face unless you bring Saul’s daughter Michal when you come to visit me.” 1
2 Samuel 3:25
Context3:25 You know Abner the son of Ner! Surely he came here to spy on you and to determine when you leave and when you return 2 and to discover everything that you are doing!”
1 tn The words “when you come to see my face,” though found in the Hebrew text, are somewhat redundant given the similar expression in the earlier part of the verse. The words are absent from the Syriac Peshitta.
2 tn Heb “your going out and your coming in.” The expression is a merism. It specifically mentions the polar extremities of the actions but includes all activity in between the extremities as well, thus encompassing the entirety of one’s activities.
