2 Samuel 3:34

New English Translation

³⁴Your hands^[a] were not bound,
and your feet were not put into irons.
You fell the way one falls before criminals.”

All the people^[b] wept over him again.

2 Samuel 3:34 tc The translation follows many medieval Hebrew manuscripts and several ancient versions in reading “your hands,” rather than “your hand.”
2 Samuel 3:34 tc 4QSam^a lacks the words “all the people.”

your feet were not fettered.^(A)
You fell as one falls before the wicked.”
