4:12So David issued orders to the soldiers and they put them to death. Then they cut off their hands and feet and hung them17 near the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ish-bosheth18 and buried it in the tomb of Abner19 in Hebron.20
Footnotes
- 17 The antecedent of the pronoun “them” (which is not present in the Hebrew text, but implied) is not entirely clear. Presumably it is the corpses that were hung and not merely the detached hands and feet; cf. “hung the (their , ) bodies”; the alternative is represented by “cut off their hands and feet, which they hung up.”
- 18 4QSama mistakenly reads “Mephibosheth” here.
- 19 The adds “the son of Ner” by conformity with common phraseology elsewhere.
- 20 Some of the lack the phrase “in Hebron.”
