Torrey, [ca. 1880]\nOverview\nSa2 8:1, David subdues the Philistines and the Moabites; Sa2 8:3, He smites Hadadezer, and the Syrians; Sa2 8:9, Toi sends Joram with presents to bless him; Sa2 8:11, The presents and the spoil David dedicates to God; Sa2 8:14, He puts garrisons in Edom; Sa2 8:16, David's officers.\nam 2964, bc 1040, An, Ex, Is, 451\nAnd after: Sa2 7:9, Sa2 21:15-22\nMethegammah: or, the bridle of Ammah, Sa2 2:24; 1Chr. 18:1-17, Gath, In the parallel passage of Chronicles, we read, \"David took Gath and her towns;\" and it is probable, that Gath and its districts were called Metheg-ammah in David's time; which, being unusual or becoming obsolete, in the time of the author of the Chronicles, led him thus to explain it.\nhe smote: Num 24:17; Jdg 3:29, Jdg 3:30; Sa1 14:47; Psa 60:8, Psa 83:6, Psa 108:9\nmeasured: Sa2 12:31\nAnd so: Sa2 8:6, Sa2 8:12-14; Kg2 1:1, 3:4-27; Ch1 18:2\nbrought gifts: Sa1 10:27; Ch2 26:8; Psa 72:10, Psa 72:11; Isa 36:16\nHadadezer: Ch1 18:3, Hadarezer\nZobah: Sa2 10:6; Sa1 14:47; Kg1 11:23, Kg1 11:24; Psa 60:1 *title\nat the river: Gen 15:18; Exo 23:31; Deu 11:24; Kg1 4:21; Psa 72:8\nfrom him: or, of his\nchariots: As Ch1 18:4 seven hundred. In the parallel place in Chronicles it is \"seven thousand horsemen, a far more probable number. The letter \u05d6, zayin, with a dot upon it stands for seven thousand, and the final letter \u05df, noon, for seven hundred. The great similarity of these letters might easily cause the one to be mistaken for the other, and so produce an error in this place. David houghed, Deu 17:16; Jos 11:6, Jos 11:9; Psa 20:7, Psa 33:16, Psa 33:17\nreserved: Kg1 10:26\nAnd when: Kg1 11:23-25; Ch1 18:5, Ch1 18:6; Isa 7:8\ncame: Job 9:13; Psa 83:4-8; Isa 8:9, Isa 8:10, Isa 31:3\nZobah: From Ch2 8:3, we learn that Zobah was the district in which Tadmor or Palymyra was situated; and consequently lay between the land of Israel and the Euphrates. The capital was probably the same as the Sabe mentioned by Ptolemy as a city of Arabia Deserta.\ngarrisons: Sa2 8:14, Sa2 23:14; Sa1 13:3, Sa1 14:1, Sa1 14:6, Sa1 14:15; Ch2 17:2; Psa 18:34-46\nbecame: Sa2 8:2\nthe Lord: Sa2 8:14, Sa2 7:9; Ch1 18:13; Psa 5:11, Psa 5:12, Psa 121:7, Psa 121:8, Psa 140:7, Psa 144:1, Psa 144:2; Pro 21:31\nshields: Kg1 10:16, Kg1 10:17, Kg1 14:26, Kg1 14:27; Ch1 18:7; Ch2 9:15, Ch2 9:16\nBetah: Probably the same as Bathne in Syria, between Beroeea and Hierapolis. Ch1 18:8, Tibhath, Chun\nBerothai: Berothai is probably the Barathena of Ptolemy, which he mentions, along with Sabe, as a city of Arabia Deserta, in the confines of the Palmyrenian district.\nexceeding: Ch1 22:14, Ch1 22:16, Ch1 29:7; 2Chr. 4:1-18\nToi: Ch1 18:9, Tou\nHamath: Amo 6:2\nJoram: Ch1 18:10, Hadoram\nsalute him: Heb. ask him of peace, Gen 43:27; Isa 39:1\nto bless him: Sa1 13:10 *marg.
