15:1-19 Absalom revolted against David eleven years after Amnon violated Tamar (cp. 13:23, 38; 14:28; 15:7), approximately the twenty-fifth year of David’s thirty-three-year reign in Jerusalem.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

(Occurrence 0) So Absalom would say to him

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to=him/it ʼAⱱīshālōm look claims_of,your good and,right and,hear not to/for=yourself(m) from, the,king )

It is implied that the person told his case to Absalom. This can be stated clearly. Alternate translation: “Absalom would ask him what his problem was, and the man would then explain to Absalom why he sought justice. Absalom would then say to him”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

(Occurrence 0) good and right

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to=him/it ʼAⱱīshālōm look claims_of,your good and,right and,hear not to/for=yourself(m) from, the,king )

These words have basically the same meaning and are used together to emphasize that his case is good.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) to hear your case

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to=him/it ʼAⱱīshālōm look claims_of,your good and,right and,hear not to/for=yourself(m) from, the,king )

“Hearing” a case means to listen to it and to make a judgement decision over it. Alternate translation: “to judge your case” or “to oversee your case”
