2 Samuel 10:6
Context10:6 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
2 Samuel 13:32
Context13:32 Jonadab, the son of David’s brother Shimeah, said, “My lord should not say, ‘They have killed all the young men who are the king’s sons.’ For only Amnon is dead. This is what Absalom has talked about 5 from the day that Amnon 6 humiliated his sister Tamar.


[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.
[13:32] 5 tn Heb “it was placed on the mouth of Absalom.”
[13:32] 6 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Amnon) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
