Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary

Untitled

Translated Open passage

This chapter gives us an account of a war David has with the Ammonites and the Syrians their allies, with the occasion and success of it. I. David sent a friendly embassy to Hanun king of the Ammonites, 2Sa 10:1,2. II. He, upon a base surmise that it was ill intended, abused David's ambassadors, 2Sa 10:3,4. III. David resenting it (2Sa 10:5), and the Ammonites prepared for war against him, 2Sa 10:6. IV. David carried the war into their country, sent against them. Joab and Abishai, who addressed themselves to the battle with a great deal of conduct and bravery, 2Sa 10:7-12. V. The Ammonites, and the Syrians their allies, were totally routed, 2Sa 10:13,14. VI. The forces of the Syrians, which rallied again, were a second time defeated, 2Sa 10:15-19. Thus did David advance his own reputation for gratitude, in returning kindness, and for justice, in repaying injuries.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

2 Samuel 10 Introduction

Translated Open passage

On comparing this whole chapter with 2 Samuel 8:3-13; and 1 Chronicles 19 with 1 Chronicles 18, it seems not improbable that they are two accounts of one and the same war; the former account 2 Samuel 8:3-13 being inserted out of its chronological order. The numbers slain on both occasions, 42,000 2 Samuel 8:4-5, 40,000 2 Samuel 10:18, 700 2 Samuel 8:4; 2 Samuel 10:18, the seat of war, the mention of the Euphrates, the persons engaged - David, Joab, and Abishai on one side, Hadarezer and the vassal kings on the other - are too similar to make it probable that they belong to two different wars.

Adam Clarke's Commentary and Critical Notes on the Bible

2 Samuel 10 Introduction

Translated Open passage

The king of Ammon being dead, David sends ambassadors to comfort his son Hanun, 2 Samuel 10:1, 2 Samuel 10:2. Hanun, misled by his courtiers, treats the messengers of David with great indignity, 2 Samuel 10:3-5. The Ammonites, justly dreading David's resentment, send, and hire the Syrians to make war upon him, 2 Samuel 10:6. Joab and Abishai meet them at the city of Medeba, and defeat them, 2 Samuel 10:7-14. The Syrians collect another army, but are defeated by David with great slaughter, and make with him a separate peace, 2 Samuel 10:15-19.

INTRODUCTION TO SECOND SAMUEL 10

This chapter gives an account of the ill treatment of David's messengers to the king of Ammon, who were sent to condole the death of his father, and were basely used by him, which David resented, 2 Samuel 10:1; which the Ammonites perceiving prepared for war, and got the Syrians to be confederates with them; of which David being informed, sent Joab and Abishai into their country, 2 Samuel 10:6; who divided the army between them, and attacked the Ammonites and Syrians with great courage, and routed them both, and returned to Jerusalem, 2 Samuel 10:9; after which the Syrians gathered together again to fight with David, who went out to meet them, and got an entire conquest over them, and made them servants to him, 2 Samuel 10:15.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

2 Samuel 10 Introduction

Translated Open passage

X.

Chapters 10-12 give a detailed account of David’s war with the Ammonites and their allies the Syrians, and of David’s great sin, for which this war gave the occasion. The same war has already been briefly mentioned in 2Samuel 8:3-8; 2Samuel 8:13-14, in the general summary of David’s reign, but is here given with more detail in connection with his sin. The same account may be found in 1Chronicles 19:1 to 1Chronicles 20:3, but with no mention of the sin in regard to Bath-sheba and Uriah. Up to this point the reign has been one of exemplary piety and great prosperity; henceforward it is overclouded by sin and its consequent punishment. This turning point may be nearly fixed as about the middle of David’s reign. It could not have been much later, since Solomon was born about two years after David’s adultery, and had a son a year old when he came to the throne (1Kings 11:43, with 1Kings 14:21); nor could it have been much earlier, since the whole narrative represents David’s chief wars and conquests as already accomplished.

This war was altogether the greatest and most critical of David’s reign, and it is not surprising that it should have been marked in song by the royal Psalmist. Psalms 60 is definitely assigned to this time by its title, which is fully confirmed by internal evidence. Psalms 44 is also supposed by some writers to have been written during this period, but 2Samuel 10:9-16 speak of great calamities, of which we have no record at this time. Psalms 68 is also assigned by many to this period.

2 Samuel 10 Introduction

Translated Open passage

Ch. 10. War with the Ammonites and their allies the Syrians

= 1 Chronicles 19

David had now reached the summit of his prosperity and power. The historian has now to record how he fell from that height into a sin which brought shame and suffering upon himself and disaster upon his kingdom. This war with the Ammonites is described in detail, because of its close connexion with that act, which marked the fatal turning-point in David’s reign.

The war with the Ammonites is incidentally alluded to in ch. 2 Samuel 8:12 among David’s other wars; and the war with the Syrians to which it led is not improbably the same as that recorded in ch. 2 Samuel 8:3-6.

It is there related that Hadadezer sustained a crushing defeat, and that a great part of his vassals transferred their allegiance to David. There is no hint here that they had revolted, and it seems unlikely that they could have raised so large an army on a second occasion. The circumstances narrated here (2 Samuel 10:16) explain the otherwise obscure mention of the Euphrates in ch. 2 Samuel 8:3 : the seat of war, the persons engaged, the results, and the general details, are so similar as to make it at least improbable that the narratives refer to two distinct wars.

It is easy to assign a reason for this repetition. There the account forms part of the collected summary of David’s principal wars, as it was probably by far the most important and most distant of them: here it appears as a necessary pendant to the history of the Ammonite war, which is being related in full in order to lead up to and explain the circumstances of David’s fall.

DAVID'S MESSENGERS, SENT TO COMFORT HANUN, ARE DISGRACEFULLY TREATED.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

2 Samuel 10:1

Translated Open passage

The king - In marginal reference. Nahash, king, etc. The interval between the two events, not less than 50 years, and possibly more, is against his being the same as the Nahash of 1 Samuel 11:1-15.

The Ammonites are almost always spoken of as the children of Ammon, from the name of their first ancestor Ben-ammi Genesis 19:38.

Hanun - The equivalent of the Carthaginian Hanno, from the same root as the Hebrew, Hananiah, Johanan, Hannah, etc. The same name appears in composition with Baal in Baal-Hanan, an Aramean king Genesis 36:38-39.
