Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

OET (OET-RV)May God punish me if I don’t do for David exactly what Yahweh promised him

OET-LVThus god may_he_do to_ʼAⱱnēr and_so may_he_add to_him/it if/because just_as he_swore YHWH to_Dāvid if/because so I_will_do for_him/it.

UHBכֹּֽה־יַעֲשֶׂ֤ה אֱלֹהִים֙ לְ⁠אַבְנֵ֔ר וְ⁠כֹ֖ה יֹסִ֣יף ל֑⁠וֹ כִּ֗י כַּ⁠אֲשֶׁ֨ר נִשְׁבַּ֤ע יְהוָה֙ לְ⁠דָוִ֔ד כִּֽי־כֵ֖ן אֶֽעֱשֶׂה־לּֽ⁠וֹ׃

BrLXXΤάδε ποιήσαι ὁ Θεὸς τῷ Ἀβεννὴρ καὶ τάδε προσθείη αὐτῷ, ὅτι καθὼς ὤμοσε Κύριος τῷ Δαυὶδ, ὅτι οὕτως ποιήσω αὐτῷ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ,

BrTrGod do thus and more also to Abenner, if as the Lord swore to David, so do I not to him this day;

ULTThus may God do to Abner, and thus may he add to him, if, as Yahweh has sworn to David, that thus I will do for him,

UST9-10Yahweh solemnly promised that he would not allow Saul and his descendants to continue to rule. He promised that he would cause David to rule over all the tribes of Israel and Judah, from the city of Dan far in the north to the city of Beersheba far in the south. So I hope that God will kill me if I do not enable that to happen!”

BSBMay God punish Abner, and ever so severely if I do not do for David what the LORD has sworn to him:

MSB (Same as above)


OEBGod do to Abner whatever he pleases, if, as Jehovah hath sworn to David, I do not even so to him,

WEBBEGod do so to Abner, and more also, if, as the LORD has sworn to David, I don’t do even so to him:

WMBB (Same as above)

NETGod will severely judge Abner if I do not do for David exactly what the Lord has promised him,

LSVThus God does to Abner, and thus He adds to him, surely as YHWH has sworn to David—surely so I do to him:

FBVSo now may God punish me severely if I don't help David achieve what the Lord has promised him.

T4T9-10Yahweh solemnly promised that he would not allow Saul and his descendants to continue to rule. He promised that he would cause David to rule over all the tribes of Israel and Judah, from Dan city far in the north to Beersheba city far in the south. So I hope/desire that God will punish me severely [HYP] if I do not enable that to happen!”

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

3:9 help David get what the Lord has promised him! Abner was aware that God had chosen David to be king over all Israel (see also 3:18).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

(Occurrence 0) May God do so to me … and more also, if I do not

(Some words not found in UHB: so he/it_made/did ʼElohīm to,Abner and,so more to=him/it that/for/because/then/when just=as sworn YHWH to,David that/for/because/then/when so accomplish for=him/it )

This is the form of a solemn vow in that time. Abner is asking God to judge him severely if he does not keep his vow. Your language may have a way of expressing vows. Alternate translation: “I am asking God to punish me if I do not”
