David McKay,
AGAPH in LXX 2 Kings 13:15 semantically and culturally reflects the
Hebrew term, 'AHaBh, where the Greek NT teachers and writers
semantically [and theologically] add to AGAPH by their usage and
ascription of it, after its use in the LXX.

G'day Bryan. But it wasn't unconditional love when Amnon raped Tamar,
though!
