10:6 When the Ammonites realized that David was disgusted with them, 1  they 2  sent and hired 20,000 foot soldiers from Aram Beth Rehob and Aram Zobah, 3  in addition to 1,000 men from the king of Maacah and 12,000 men from Ish-tob. 4

[10:6]  1 tn Heb “that they were a stench [i.e., disgusting] with David.”

[10:6]  2 tn Heb “the Ammonites.”

[10:6]  3 tn Or “Arameans of Beth Rehob and Arameans of Zobah.”

[10:6]  4 tn Or perhaps “the men of Tob.” The ancient versions (the LXX, the Syriac Peshitta, and Vulgate) understand the name to be “Ish-tob.” It is possible that “Ish” is dittographic and that we should read simply “Tob,” a reading adopted by a number of recent English versions.
