NET © Notes |
1 sn We have no portion in David; no share in the son of Jesse. Their point seems to be that they have no familial relationship with David that brings them any benefits or places upon them any obligations. They are being treated like outsiders. 2 tn Heb “to your tents, Israel.” The word “return” is supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons. 3 tn Heb “Now see your house, David.” 4 tn Heb “went to their tents.” |
