Discovery Box2 Samuel 7:23 
Context7:23 Who is like your people, Israel, a unique nation 1 on the earth? Their God 2 went 3 to claim 4 a nation for himself and to make a name for himself! You did great and awesome acts for your land, 5 before your people whom you delivered for yourself from the Egyptian empire and its gods. 6
2 Samuel 19:28
Context19:28 After all, there was no one in the entire house of my grandfather 7 who did not deserve death from my lord the king. But instead you allowed me to eat at your own table! 8 What further claim do I have to ask 9 the king for anything?”
2 Samuel 21:4
Context21:4 The Gibeonites said to him, “We 10 have no claim to silver or gold from Saul or from his family, 11 nor would we be justified in putting to death anyone in Israel.” David asked, 12 “What then are you asking me to do for you?”
1 tn Heb “a nation, one.”
2 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.
3 tn The verb is plural in Hebrew, agreeing grammatically with the divine name, which is a plural of degree.
4 tn Heb “redeem.”
5 tn Heb “and to do for you [plural form] the great [thing] and awesome [things] for your land.”
6 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”).
7 tn Heb “father.”
8 tn Heb “and you placed your servant among those who eat at your table.”
9 tn Heb “to cry out to.”
10 tc The translation follows the Qere and several medieval Hebrew
11 tn Heb “house.”
12 tn Heb “and he said”; the referent (David) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
