Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

And it came to pass after forty years, that Absalom said unto the king, I pray thee, let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed unto the LORD, in Hebron.

A.M. 2983 b.C. 1021 An. Ex. Is. 470.
forty years As David reigned in the whole only forty years, this reading is evidently corrupt, though supported by the commonly printed Vulgate, LXX., and Chaldee. but the Syriac, Arabic, Josephus, and several MSS of the same version, read FOUR years; and it is highly probable that {arbaim}, FORTY, is an error for {arba}, FOUR, though not supported by any Hebrew MS yet discovered. Two of those collated by Dr. Kennicott, however, have {yom}, `day' instead of {shanah}, `year', i.e., {forty days} instead of {forty years}; but this is not sufficient to outweigh the other authorities. 2Sa 13:38 1Sa 16:1,13

let me go 2Sa 13:24-27

pay 1Sa 16:2 Pr 21:27 Isa 58:4 Mt 2:8 23:14
