2 Samuel 10:6

Context

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 

2 Samuel 19:43

Context
19:43 The men of Israel replied to the men of Judah, “We have ten shares in the king, and we have a greater claim on David than you do! Why do you want 5  to curse us? Weren’t we the first to suggest bringing back our king?” But the comments of the men of Judah were more severe than those of the men of Israel.

[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.

[19:43]  5 tn The translation understands the verb in a desiderative sense, indicating the desire but not necessarily the completed action of the party in question. It is possible, however, that the verb should be given the more common sense of accomplished action, in which case it means here “Why have you cursed us?”
