英文原文
1Ch 18:1, 2.
DAVID SUBDUES THE PHILISTINES AND MOABITES.
1. David . . . took Gath and her towns--The full extent of David's conquests in the Philistine territory is here distinctly stated, whereas in the parallel passage
(2Sa 8:1)
it was only described in a general way. Gath was the "Metheg-ammah," or "arm-bridle," as it is there called--either from its supremacy as the capital over the other Philistine towns, or because, in the capture of that important place and its dependencies, he obtained the complete control of his restless neighbors.

2. 他攻打摩押——大卫征服那百姓时所施的可怖严刑,以及他们可能遭受如此可怕报应的缘由,记载于
(2Sa 8:2)。
摩押人……进贡——即成为以色列的属国。
英文原文
2. he smote Moab--The terrible severities by which David's conquest of that people was marked, and the probable reason of their being subjected to such a dreadful retribution, are narrated
(2Sa 8:2).
the Moabites . . . brought gifts--that is, became tributary to Israel.

大卫击打哈大底谢与叙利亚人
3. 哈大利谢——或作「哈大底谢」
(2Sa 8:3),
后者大概是原名,源自叙利亚的神祇哈大(Hadad)。它似乎成了那国统治者的官称与世袭尊号。
琐巴——其位置可由「直到」或「往哈马」一语确定,在大马士革东北方不远处;有人认为它与较早时期称为何把的地方相同
(Ge 14:15)。
在大马士革兴起之前,琐巴是在叙利亚诸小邦中享有霸权的王国之首都。
他往伯拉河去,要坚定自己的权柄——有人将此归诸大卫,他正寻求在一个方向上将自己的版图扩展至伯拉河一带的边界,以成就应许
(Ge 15:18; Nu 24:17)。
但另有人认为,由于大卫的名字已在前文提及
(1Ch 18:4),
此语最宜归诸哈大底谢。
英文原文
1Ch 18:3-17.
DAVID SMITES HADADEZER AND THE SYRIANS.
3. Hadarezer--or, "Hadadezer"
(2Sa 8:3),
which was probably the original form of the name, was derived from Hadad, a Syrian deity. It seems to have become the official and hereditary title of the rulers of that kingdom.
Zobah--Its situation is determined by the words "unto" or "towards Hamath," a little to the northeast of Damascus, and is supposed by some to be the same place as in earlier times was called Hobah
(Ge 14:15).
Previous to the rise of Damascus, Zobah was the capital of the kingdom which held supremacy among the petty states of Syria.
as he went to stablish his dominion by the river Euphrates--Some refer this to David, who was seeking to extend his possessions in one direction towards a point bordering on the Euphrates, in accordance with the promise
(Ge 15:18; Nu 24:17).
But others are of opinion that, as David's name is mentioned
(1Ch 18:4),
this reference is most applicable to Hadadezer.

4-8. 大卫从他夺了战车一千辆——(参
2Sa 8:3-14)。
在
2Sa 8:4
说大卫夺了马兵七百人,而此处说他夺了七千人。两处叙述文本上的这一巨大出入,似乎源于抄写员将表示数目的两个希伯来字母混淆,且忽略或涂没其中一个字母上的点号。我们无从查考七百或七千哪一个更为正确。大概应取前者[DAVIDSON'S HERMENEUTICS]。
却留下一百辆——大概是为他返回耶路撒冷时壮耀凯旋行列之用,用完之后便像其余的一样予以销毁。
英文原文
4-8. And David took from him a thousand chariots--(See on
2Sa 8:3-14).
In
2Sa 8:4
David is said to have taken seven hundred horsemen, whereas here it is said that he took seven thousand. This great discrepancy in the text of the two narratives seems to have originated with a transcriber in confounding the two Hebrew letters which indicate the numbers, and in neglecting to mark or obscure the points over one of them. We have no means of ascertaining whether seven hundred or seven thousand be the more correct. Probably the former should be adopted [DAVIDSON'S HERMENUTICS].
but reserved of them an hundred chariots--probably to grace a triumphal procession on his return to Jerusalem, and after using them in that way, destroy them like the rest.

8. 从提巴、从均——这两地在
(2Sa 8:8)
称为比他和比罗他。或许前者是犹太名称,后者是叙利亚名称。其位置及彼此关系均无从查考。阿拉伯文译本将之定为以米萨(今霍姆斯)和巴力贝克,两者与琐巴的相对位置均甚吻合。
英文原文
8. from Tibhath and from Chun--These places are called Betah and Berothai
(2Sa 8:8).
Perhaps the one might be the Jewish, the other the Syrian, name of these towns. Neither their situation nor the connection between them is known. The Arabic version makes them to be Emesa (now Hems) and Baal-bek, both of which agree very well with the relative position of Zobah.

17. 基列提人和比利提人——他们组成王室近卫。基列提人大概是大卫在非利士人中时始终随侍左右的勇士,从那民族得此名称
(1Sa 30:14; Eze 25:16; Zep 2:5),
也精于射箭;比利提人则是那些在洗革拉投奔他的人,从该队的首领比利得名
(1Ch 12:3),
既是便雅悯人,便善于使用甩石机弦。
英文原文
17. the Cherethites and the Pelethites--who formed the royal bodyguard. The Cherethites were, most probably, those brave men who all along accompanied David while among the Philistines, and from that people derived their name
(1Sa 30:14; Eze 25:16; Zep 2:5)
as well as their skill in archery--while the Pelethites were those who joined him at Ziklag, took their name from Pelet, the chief man in the company
(1Ch 12:3),
and, being Benjamites, were expert in the use of the sling.
1Ch 18:1, 2.
大卫制服非利士人与摩押人
1. 大卫……夺取了迦特和属迦特的村庄——大卫在非利士境内征服的全部范围,此处有清楚的说明;而在平行经文
(2Sa 8:1)
中,只是一般性地加以描述。迦特即是那里所称的「米特迦特(Metheg-ammah)」(即「臂辔」)——此名或因它作为首府对其他非利士城邑的统辖地位,或因攻取这一要地及其附属城镇之后,他便完全控制了那不安分的邻族。
