D&C 135:3 · 2 Samuel 1:23
This connection's citations are checked against the source text.
The mark sits beside every quote a connection carries. It reports one thing: those words were found in the frozen source text at the reference this page cites, allowing only typographic differences such as curly quotes, dash forms and spacing.
It is not a tier signal, and it is not a judgment about the connection. Where a card carries the Interpretive badge, the reading is still offered with its evidence for you to weigh — the mark speaks only to the citations.
The badges and the mark are separate signals: Textual and Interpretive name the kind of claim a connection makes, while the mark reports that the connection's citations were checked.
'they were not divided' stands at exactly two distinct frozen verses in the corpus: these. Both are laments for two men who died together and both pair life with death. The verbs are exchanged between the halves: the older verse puts 'not divided' with death, this one with life, and supplies a second verb, 'not separated', for death. D&C 135 is an announcement about deaths already past, written in an announcing plural with no divine first person anywhere in the section; its claims are the announcers' and are attributed as such. The announcers are not named in the verse text. Counts are of distinct frozen verses in the corpus, derived by search at the time of writing.
