2 SAM 17:13 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for Bible-translators and others doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still early looks into the drafted texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

יֵֽאָסֵ֔ף

withdraws

Here, David himself represents him and all of his forces. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [he gathers his forces]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

עַד־הַ⁠נַּ֔חַל

until (Some words not found in UHB: and=if to/towards (a)_city withdraws and,they_will_cause_to_bring all Yisrael to/towards the=city (the),that ropes and,we_will_drag DOM=him/it until the,wadi until when not he/it_was_found there also/yet pebble )

Hushai is assuming that David would retreat into a fortified city that had been built on a hill above a valley or ravine through which water sometimes flowed. Since [16:2](../16/02.md) indicates that it was summer at this time, Hushai may not be expecting that water would be flowing. So you may wish to describe this feature without implying that there would be water in it. Alternate translation: [down into the ravine below]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

לֹא־נִמְצָ֥א שָׁ֖ם גַּם־צְרֽוֹר

not he/it_was_found (Some words not found in UHB: and=if to/towards (a)_city withdraws and,they_will_cause_to_bring all Yisrael to/towards the=city (the),that ropes and,we_will_drag DOM=him/it until the,wadi until when not he/it_was_found there also/yet pebble )

Hushai is using the term found in a way characteristic of his language and culture to mean that such a pebble will not be able to be found, that is, it will not be there. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. If you have already translated the book of 1 Samuel, see how you translated the similar expression in [1 Samuel 9:8](../../1sa/09/08.md). Alternate translation: [not even a pebble will be there]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

לֹא־נִמְצָ֥א שָׁ֖ם גַּם־צְרֽוֹר

We recommend that you represent this overstatement in your translation, like the ones in the previous two verses.
