house <01004> [in mine.]
In the parallel passage, it is "thine house, and thy kingdom." Jehovah was Israel's king; and David and Solomon were merely his viceregents, as well as types of the Messiah.

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.
cut the hamstrings <06131> [houghed.]
chariots ............... hundred .... chariot horses <07393 03967> [an hundred chariots.]

[Betah, Berothai. wherewith.]
Tou <08583> [Tou.]
[Toi.]
Hadoram <01913> [Hadoram. or Joram.]
Joram, in the parallel text, seems a mistake for Hadoram, or Idoram; for the LXX. have there [Leddouram.]
pronounce <07592> [enquire. or salute him. congratulate him. Heb. bless him.]
<0376> [had war. Heb. was the man of wars. all manner.]

Zobah <06678> [Zobah.]
hired <07936> [hired.]
32,000 <07970> [thirty.]
Thirty-two thousand soldiers, exclusive of the thousand send by the Maachah, are mentioned in the parallel passage (2 Sa 10:6;) but of chariots or cavalry there is no mention; and the number of chariots stated here is prodigious, and beyond all credibility. But as the word {raichev} denotes not only a chariot, but a rider, (see Isa 21:7,) it ought most probably to be rendered here, in a collective sense, cavalry; and then the number of troops will exactly agree with the passage in Samuel. It is probable that they were a kind of auxiliary troops who were usually mounted on horses, or in chariots, but who occasionally served as foot-soldiers.
king ... Maacah <04601 04428> [the king of Maachah.]
This variation exists only in the translation, the original being the same in both places, {melech m„achah,} "the king of Maachah."
king <04428> [king Maachah. Medeba.]
Joab <03097> [Joab.]
battle <04421> [put the battle.]
kings <04428> [the kings.]
Joab <03097> [when Joab.]
battle <04421> [battle. Heb. face of the battle. set against.]
chose <0977> [choice. or, young men.]
Abishai <052> [Abishai. Heb. Abshai.]
The variation of ['AbŒyshay <\\See definition 052\\>,] Abishai, and ['Abshay <\\See definition 052\\>,] Abshai, is simply caused by the elision of [Y“wd,] {yood,} which is by no means uncommon.
deployed <06186> [and they set.]
Arameans <0758> [If the Syrians.]
strong .... bravely <02388> [of good.]
strong .... bravely <02388> [let us behave, etc.]
In Samuel, "let us play the men;" but the original is the same in both places, {nithchazzak}.
Lord <03068> [let the Lord.]
fled <05127> [they fled.]
flee ... fled <05127> [they likewise.]
<03318> [A.M. 2968. B.C. 1036. An. Ex. Is. 455. and drew.]
Euphrates <05104> [river. that is, Euphrates. Shophach.]
This variation arises from the permutation of [Bˆyth,] {baith,} and [Pˆ,] {pay;} being written in the parallel passage [Sh“wbƒk <\\See definition 07731\\>,] Shobach, and here [Sh“wphƒk <\\See definition 07780\\>,] Shophach.
[Shobach.]
deployed <06186> [upon them.]
Instead of {alaihem,} "upon them," it is in 2 Sa 10:17 {chelamah,} "to Helam:" the one seems evidently to be a mistake for the other.
deployed <06186> [and set.]
fled before Israel <05127 06440 03478> [fled before Israel.]
7,000 ..... 40,000 <07651 0505> [seven thousand.]
In the parallel passage, "the men of seven hundred chariots;" which difference probably arose from mistaking [N–wn,] {noon final}, which stands for 700, for [Zayin,] {zayin,} with a dot above, which denotes 7,000, or vice versa: the great similarity of these letters might easily cause the one to be mistaken for the other.
<0376> [footmen.]
If these troops were as we have suppose, a kind of dismounted cavalry, the terms footmen and horsemen might be indifferently applied to them.
[horsemen.]
subjects <05650> [the servants.]
willing <014> [would.]
