2 Samuel 23:20
Context23:20 Benaiah son of Jehoida was a brave warrior 3 from Kabzeel who performed great exploits. He struck down the two sons of Ariel of Moab. 4 He also went down and killed a lion in a cistern on a snowy day.
1 tn Heb “cut off.”
2 tn Heb “and I will make for you a great name like the name of the great ones who are in the earth.”
3 tc The translation follows the Qere and many medieval Hebrew
4 tc Heb “the two of Ariel, Moab.” The precise meaning of אריאל is uncertain; some read “warrior.” The present translation assumes that the word is a proper name and that בני, “sons of,” has accidentally dropped from the text by homoioarcton (note the preceding שׁני).
