2 Samuel 23 General Notes
Structure and formatting
Some translations set poetry farther to the right than the rest of the text to show that it is poetry. The ULB does this with the poetry in 23:2-7.
2 Samuel 23:8-39 is a list of the famous people in David's army along with some of the special deeds some of them did. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/works)
Special concepts in this chapter
Everlasting covenant
This is a reference to the covenant God previously made with David. (See: 2 Samuel 7, rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/eternity and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/covenant).
