", "David also took the men who were with him, each with his family, and they settled in the towns about Hebron. ", "The people of Judah came and there they anointed David king over the House of Judah.
David was told about the agents of Jabesh-gilead who buried Saul. ", "So David sent messengers to the people of Jabesh-gilead and said to them, “May you be blessed of GOD because you performed this act of faithfulness to your lord Saul and buried him. ", "May GOD in turn show you true faithfulness; and I too will reward you generously because you performed this act.", "Now take courage and be brave; for your lord Saul is dead and the House of Judah have already anointed me king over them.”", "But Abner son of Ner, Saul’s army commander, had taken Ish-bosheth son of Saul and brought him across to Mahanaim ", "and made him king over Gilead, the Ashurites, Jezreel, Ephraim, and Benjamin—over all Israel.

", "They came forward and were counted off, twelve for Benjamin and Ish-bosheth son of Saul, and twelve of David’s soldiers. ", "Each one grasped his opponent’s head [and thrust] his dagger into his opponent’s side; thus they fell together. That place, which is in Gibeon, was called Helkath-hazzurim. ", "A fierce battle ensued that day, and Abner and the men of Israel were routed by David’s soldiers. ", "The three sons of Zeruiah were there—Joab, Abishai, and Asahel.

How will I look your brother Joab in the face?” ", "When he refused to desist, Abner struck him in the belly with a backward thrust of his spear and the spear protruded from his back.

", "After Joab gave up the pursuit of Abner, he assembled all the troops and found nineteen of David’s soldiers missing, besides Asahel. ", "David’s soldiers, on the other hand, defeated the Benjaminites and the men under Abner and killed three hundred and sixty of them.

It is designed for readers, and as such it contains added elements to aid vocalization of the text. For instance: When an accent is marked in an unstressed syllable, an extra accent is added in the proper place (pashta, zarqa, segol, telisha). Legarmeih and paseq are visibly distinguished. Qamaz qatan is indicated by its designated Unicode character (alternatives are documented where traditions differ about its application).
The text of MAM is fully documented. The complete introduction to the edition (Hebrew) explains the types of editorial decisions that have been made and the reasons for them (English abstract). In addition, every word in the Bible about which there is some textual concern or ambiguity includes a documentation note; these notes can be viewed conveniently here.
