Footnotes

  1. 2 Samuel 7:16 tc Heb “before you.” A few medieval Hebrew mss read instead “before me,” which makes better sense contextually. (See also the LXX and the Syriac Peshitta.)

  2. 2 Samuel 7:16 tn Heb “throne.”
  3. 2 Samuel 7:17 tn Heb “according to all these words and according to all this revelation, so Nathan said to David.”
  4. 2 Samuel 7:18 tn Heb “house.”
