‏ 2 Samuel 22:46

46 Foreigners lose their courage; ^{▼▼tn Heb “wither, wear out.”}
they shake with fear ^{▼▼tc The translation assumes a reading וְיַחְרְגוּ (veyakhregu, “and they quaked”) rather than the MT וְיַחְגְּרוּ (veyakhgeru, “and they girded themselves”). See the note at Ps 18:45.} as they leave ^{▼▼tn Heb “from.”} their strongholds. ^{▼▼tn Heb “prisons.” Their besieged cities are compared to prisons.}
