Discovery Box2 Samuel 6:12 
Context6:12 David was told, 1 “The Lord has blessed the family of Obed-Edom and everything he owns because of the ark of God.” So David went and joyfully brought the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom to the City of David.
2 Samuel 7:23
Context7:23 Who is like your people, Israel, a unique nation 2 on the earth? Their God 3 went 4 to claim 5 a nation for himself and to make a name for himself! You did great and awesome acts for your land, 6 before your people whom you delivered for yourself from the Egyptian empire and its gods. 7
1 tn Heb “and it was told to David, saying.”
2 tn Heb “a nation, one.”
3 tn Heb “whose God” or “because God.” In the Hebrew text this clause is subordinated to what precedes. The clauses are separated in the translation for stylistic reasons.
4 tn The verb is plural in Hebrew, agreeing grammatically with the divine name, which is a plural of degree.
5 tn Heb “redeem.”
6 tn Heb “and to do for you [plural form] the great [thing] and awesome [things] for your land.”
7 tn Heb “from Egypt, nations and their gods.” The LXX has “nations and tents,” which reflects a mistaken metathesis of letters in אֶלֹהָיו (e’lohav, “its gods”) and אֹהָלָיו (’ohalav, “its tents”).
