9. Formal Translation Thus may God {Elohim, Oath Enforcer} do to Abner, and thus may He add to him, for just as the LORD {Yahweh, Promise Keeper} has sworn to David, so I will do for him. |
9. Dynamic Translation May God {Elohim, Covenant Witness} deal severely with Abner—and even more—if I do not do for David exactly what the LORD {Yahweh, Faithful Vower} has sworn to him. |
