VERSE 1
- A.M. 2964. B.C. 1040. An. Ex. Is. 451. And after.
* 2Sa 7:9; 21:15-22
- Metheg-ammah. or, the bridle of Ammah.
* 2Sa 2:24 1Ch 18:1-17
- Gath.
In the parallel passage of Chronicles, we read, "David took
Gath and her towns;" and it is probable, that Gath and its
districts were called Metheg-ammah in David's time; which,
being unusual or becoming obsolete, in the time of the author
of the Chronicles, led him thus to explain it.
VERSE 2
- he smote.
* Nu 24:17 Jud 3:29,30 1Sa 14:47 Ps 60:8; 83:6; 108:9
- measured.
* 2Sa 12:31
- And so.
* :6,12-14 2Ki 1:1; 3:4-27 1Ch 18:2
- brought gifts.

VERSE 3
- Hadadezer.
* 1Ch 18:3
- Hadarezer. Zobah.
* 2Sa 10:6 1Sa 14:47 1Ki 11:23,24 Ps 60:1 *title
- at the river.
* Ge 15:18 Ex 23:31 De 11:24 1Ki 4:21 Ps 72:8
VERSE 4
- from him. or, of his. chariots.
As 1 Ch 4 18:4 seven hundred. In the parallel place in
Chronicles it is "seven thousand horsemen, a far more probable
number. The letter [Zayin,] {zayin,} with a dot upon it
stands for seven thousand, and the final letter N-wn,] {noon,}
for seven hundred: the great similarity of these letters
might easily cause the one to be mistaken for the other, and
so produce an error in this place.
- David houghed.
* De 17:16 Jos 11:6,9 Ps 20:7; 33:16,17
- reserved.
* 1Ki 10:26
VERSE 5

- came.
* Job 9:13 Ps 83:4-8 Isa 8:9,10; 31:3
- Zobah.
From 2 Ch 3 8:3, we learn that Zobah was the district in which
Tadmor or Palymyra was situated; and consequently lay between
the land of Israel and the Euphrates. The capital was
probably the same as the Sabe mentioned by Ptolemy as a city
of Arabia Deserta.
VERSE 6
- garrisons.
* :14; 23:14 1Sa 13:3; 14:1,6,15 2Ch 17:2 Ps 18:34-46

- shields.
* 1Ki 10:16,17; 14:26,27 1Ch 18:7 2Ch 9:15,16
VERSE 8
- Betah.
Probably the same as Bathne in Syria, between Berooea and
Hierapolis.
* 1Ch 18:8
- Tibhath, Chun. Berothai.
Berothai is probably the Barathena of Ptolemy, which he
mentions, along with Sabe, as a city of Arabia Deserta, in the
confines of the Palmyrenian district.
- exceeding.
* 1Ch 22:14,16; 29:7 2Ch 4:1-18
