Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 6. Chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia] These are not mentioned in the parallel place in Samuel; probably they did not arrive till the Ammonites and their other allies were defeated by the Israelites in the first battle.
Matthew Henry Commentary
- David's wars.
--The history is here repeated which we read 2Sa 10. The only safety of sinners consists in submitting to the Lord, seeking peace with him, an becoming his servants. Let us assist each other in a good cause; but let us fear lest, while made instruments of good to others, we shoul come short of salvation, through unbelief and sin _________________________________________________
