1 Samuel 20:12 (King James Version)
And Jonathan said unto David, O LORD God of Israel, when I have sounded my father about to morrow any time, or the third day, and, behold, if there be good toward David, and I then send not unto thee, and shew it thee;
- O Lord
- This verse is evidently deficient
- The LXX. have [kyrios ho Theos Israel oiden,] "The Lord God of Israel doth know;" the Syraic and Arabic, "The Lord God of Israel is witness;" either of which makes good sense
- But two of Dr. Kennicott's MSS. supply the word {chai,} "liveth;" and the text reads thus: "As the Lord God of Israel liveth, when I have sounded my
- father,--if there be good unto David, and I then send not unto thee," etc; which is a still better sense.
- Joshua 22:22 ; Job 31:4 ; Psalms 17:3 ; 139:1-4
- sounded
- Hebrew searched.
- Proverbs 20:5 ; Proverbs 25:2 Proverbs 25:3
- shew it thee
- Hebrew uncover thine ear.
- 20:2
