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.
   * 1Sa 10:27 2Ch 26:8 Ps 72:10,11 Isa 36:16


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

   * :14; 23:14 1Sa 13:3; 14:1,6,15 2Ch 17:2 Ps 18:34-46

- the Lord.

VERSE 7 
 - 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.
