2 SAM 19:10 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not necessarily 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.

,why? (Some words not found in UHB: and,Absalom which/who anointed over,us died in,battle and=now ,why? you(pl) say_nothing to,bring_back DOM the,king )

The people are using the question form to criticize those who are not taking action to bring back the king. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [you should not be silent about bringing back the king!]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

לָ⁠מָ֥ה אַתֶּ֛ם מַחֲרִשִׁ֖ים

,why? (Some words not found in UHB: and,Absalom which/who anointed over,us died in,battle and=now ,why? you(pl) say_nothing to,bring_back DOM the,king )

The word you is plural here because groups of Israelites are addressing one another, so use the plural form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
