Abstract: 

The variant ויפחז in 4QSamb (4Q52) for MT ויקם in 1 Sam 20:34a is critically evaluated. It is suggested here that the reading of ויפחז in 4QSamb is due to metathesis of the consonants פ and ח, and that the original reading might have been ויחפז, »and he hurried away«. The suggested solution would fit the context very well and would also explain the apparent differences between 4QSamb, and on the other hand MT and LXX.
