2 Samuel 6:20

Context
6:20 When David went home to pronounce a blessing on his own house, 1  Michal, Saul’s daughter, came out to meet him. 2  She said, “How the king of Israel has distinguished 3  himself this day! He has exposed himself today before his servants’ slave girls the way a vulgar fool 4  might do!”

2 Samuel 21:12

Context
21:12 he 5  went and took the bones of Saul and of his son Jonathan 6  from the leaders 7  of Jabesh Gilead. (They had secretly taken 8  them from the plaza at Beth Shan. It was there that Philistines 9  publicly exposed their corpses 10  after 11  they 12  had killed Saul at Gilboa.)

1 tn Heb “and David returned to bless his house.”

2 tn Heb “David.” The name has been replaced by the pronoun (“him”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.

3 tn Heb “honored.”

4 tn Heb “one of the foolish ones.”

5 tn Heb “David.” For stylistic reasons the name has been replaced by the pronoun (“he”) in the translation.

6 tn Heb “the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son.” See also v. 13.

7 tn Heb “lords.”

8 tn Heb “stolen.”

9 tc Against the MT, this word is better read without the definite article. The MT reading is probably here the result of wrong word division, with the letter ה (he) belonging with the preceding word שָׁם (sham) as the he directive (i.e., שָׁמָּה, samah, “to there”).

10 tn Heb “had hung them.”

11 tn Heb “in the day.”

12 tn Heb “Philistines.”
