2 Samuel 5:10

Context
5:10 David’s power grew steadily, for the Lord God 1  who commands armies 2  was with him. 3 

1 tc 4QSama and the LXX lack the word “God,” probably due to harmonization with the more common biblical phrase “the Lord of hosts.”

2 tn Traditionally, “the Lord God of hosts” (KJV, NASB); NIV, NLT “the Lord God Almighty”; CEV “the Lord (+ God NCV) All-Powerful.”

3 tn The translation assumes that the disjunctive clause is circumstantial-causal, giving the reason for David’s success.
