2 Samuel 15:8

For I made this vow ¹  when I was living in Geshur in Aram: ‘If the Lord really does allow me to return to Jerusalem, ²  I will serve the Lord.’”

Ge 28:20,21; Jos 24:15; 1Sa 1:11; 1Sa 16:2; 2Sa 13:37,38; 2Sa 14:23,32; Ps 56:12; Ec 5:4; Isa 28:15; Jer 9:3-5; Jer 42:20

¹ tn Heb “for your servant vowed a vow.” The formal court style of referring to one’s self in third person (“your servant”) has been translated here as first person for clarity.
