defeated <05221> [He smote.]
brought tribute <04503 05375> [brought gifts.]
<01928> [Hadarezer.]
Hadadezer, [Hadad'ezer <\\See definition 01909\\>,] in the parallel passage, seems an evident mistake for [Hadar'ezer <\\See definition 01928\\>,] Hadarezer; for the LXX. and Vulgate there, as here, read [Adaraazar,] Adarezer. The difference arises from the mistake of a [Rˆysh,] {raish,} for a [Dƒleth,] {daleth,} two letters very similar.
[Hadadezer. Zobah.]
River <05104> [by the river.]
1,000 ... 7,000 .... 20,000 <0505 07651> [seven thousand.]
[seven hundred. David.]
The words {wyakker Dawid eth col haraichev,} should be rendered, "and David disjointed all the chariots;" which is nearly the rendering of the LXX., [kai paraluse David panta ta armata.] To have houghed the horses would have been both unreasonable and inhuman; for, as he had gained so complete a victory, there was no danger of their falling into the hands of the enemy; and if he did not choose to keep them, which indeed the law would not permit, he ought to have killed them outright.

Hadoram <01913> [Hadoram. or Joram.]
Joram, in the parallel text, seems a mistake for Hadoram, or Idoram; for the LXX. have there [Leddouram.]
