Whole Bible (35)Old Testament (1)Individual Books (1)
Verse 1
it came to pass. Compare 2 Samuel 11:1 ; 2 Samuel 12:26-31 .
children = sons.
David tarried at Jerusalem. No reference is made here to the result of this tarrying, which is recorded in 2 Samuel 11:1 , 2 Samuel 12:25 .
Verse 2
David took. No discrepancy here, for Joab had summoned David for the purpose (2 Samuel 12:27 ).
Verse 3
cut. Hebrew. sur. Occurs only here; the meaning "cut" is arbitrary. It must be explained by 2 Samuel 12:31 , where it is sum, and is rendered "put" = "appointed them [to work] with". See notes there. Sur is probably from yashar = to regulate, or rule.
Verse 4
children = those born.
the giant. Hebrew. raphah, a descendant of one Rapha, who came of the Nephilim. See 2 Samuel 21:18-22 , and App-23 .
