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.

2 Samuel 23 Introduction

Structure and Formatting

This chapter continues the supplemental information about David’s reign as king of Israel that the author provides at the end of the book. It presents the fourth and fifth parts of that information, a song that presents David’s last words and a description of his greatest warriors.Some translations set each line of poetry farther to the right than the rest of the text to make it easier to read. The ULT does this with the poetry in [23:2–7](../23/02.md).2 Samuel [23:8–39](../23/08.md) is a list of the famous people in David’s army along with some of the special deeds some of them did. Consider how you have been presenting the lists in 2 Samuel in your translation and how you might present the list in [verses 24–29](../23/24.md) similarly. You may choose to put one name, rather than two, on each line.
