2 Samuel 4:4

Context

4:4 Now Saul’s son Jonathan had a son who was crippled in both feet. He was five years old when the news about Saul and Jonathan arrived from Jezreel. His nurse picked him up and fled, but in her haste to get away, he fell and was injured. 1  Mephibosheth was his name.

2 Samuel 4:12

Context

4:12 So David issued orders to the soldiers and they put them to death. Then they cut off their hands and feet and hung them 2  near the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ish-bosheth 3  and buried it in the tomb of Abner 4  in Hebron. 5 

2 Samuel 9:3

Context
9:3 The king asked, “Is there not someone left from Saul’s family, 6  that I may extend God’s kindness to him?” Ziba said to the king, “One of Jonathan’s sons is left; both of his feet are crippled.”

2 Samuel 15:30

Context

15:30 As David was going up the Mount of Olives, he was weeping as he went; his head was covered and his feet were bare. All the people who were with him also had their heads covered and were weeping as they went up.

1 tn Heb “and was lame.”

2 tn The antecedent of the pronoun “them” (which is not present in the Hebrew text, but implied) is not entirely clear. Presumably it is the corpses that were hung and not merely the detached hands and feet; cf. NIV “hung the (their NRSV, NLT) bodies”; the alternative is represented by TEV “cut off their hands and feet, which they hung up.”

3 tc 4QSama mistakenly reads “Mephibosheth” here.

4 tc The LXX adds “the son of Ner” by conformity with common phraseology elsewhere.

5 tc Some mss of the LXX lack the phrase “in Hebron.”

6 tn Heb “house.”
