I Samuel 20:31

They did manage to see each other once more and get in another covenant before God I Samuel 23:18

I Samuel 20:41

[prostrated himself] is translated “bowed”, an improbable thing to do when you may be seeing your beloved for the last time

[a man] with [his lover] is translated “one with another”, not technically wrong but insipid since it already stated they “kissed one another”

The Hebrew “ad higdal” literally means “until [David] exceeded”, is related to “cause to make large”, and while sufficiently suggestive to get the meaning, is almost certainly an edited version of a more forthright earlier text
