(3) Are not his servants come . . . for to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?Literally, Is it not for to search . . . that his servants are come unto thee? This is hardly an improvement on Samuel: Is it not to search the city (Rabbath-Ammon, the capital), and to spy it out, and to overthrow it, that David hath sent his servants unto thee? The Syriac and Arabic agree with Samuel in reading city; LXX. and Vulg., land.
