2 Samuel 20:14

20:14 Sheba¹ traveled through all the tribes of Israel to Abel of² Beth Maacah and all the Berite region. When they had assembled,³ they too joined him.

2 Samuel 20:18

Context
20:18 She said, “In the past they would always say, ‘Let them inquire in Abel,’ and that is how they settled things.

¹tn Heb “he”; the referent (Sheba) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

²tc In keeping with the form of the name in v. 15, the translation deletes the “and” found in the MT.

³tc The translation follows the Qere, many medieval Hebrew mss, and the ancient versions in reading וַיִּקָּהֲלוּ (vayyiqqahalu, “and they were gathered together”) rather than the Kethib of the MT וַיִּקְלֻהוּ (vayyiqluhu, “and they cursed him”). The Kethib is the result of metathesis.
