2 Samuel 11:1
繁體中文
英文原文
After the year was expired - The next spring after the escape of the Ammonites into their city 2 Samuel 10:14.
The children of Ammon - The marginal reference supplies the word "the land of," which is obviously the right reading.
David tarried at Jerusalem - The Syrians being subdued, the war with Ammon was not of sufficient moment to require David's personal presence. The whole section relating to David's adultery and Uriah's death, from this verse to 2 Samuel 12:26, is omitted in the Book of Chronicles.

2 Samuel 11:11
繁體中文
「約櫃」——運約櫃前去，或許有雙重的目的：一是要最大限度地激發百姓保護約櫃、抵禦亞捫人的熱忱；二是要隨手有求問耶和華的途徑——大衛已發現這是何等有用。
英文原文
The ark - Perhaps there was a double purpose in taking the ark; one, to excite to the utmost the enthusiasm of the people for its defense and against the Ammonites; the other, to have the means at hand of inquiring of the Lord, which David had found so serviceable.

僕人中有幾人死亡……——這些人與勇敢忠誠的烏利亞一樣，同是大衛殘忍詭計的犧牲者。
英文原文
The men of the city went out - i. e. they made a sally and attacked the troops which were blockading the city on that side, chiefly to entice them to pursue them, and so come within shot of the archers who lined the wall 2 Samuel 11:20, 2 Samuel 11:24.

「過了一年」——即亞捫人逃入他們城中之役（2 Samuel 10:14）後的次年春天。
「亞捫的眾子」——邊注參考經文補上「之地」二字，這顯然是正確的讀法。
「大衛仍住在耶路撒冷」——亞蘭人既已被制服，與亞捫人之戰已無足輕重，不需大衛親臨。關乎大衛犯姦淫與烏利亞之死的整段記載——從本節直到 2 Samuel 12:26——在歷代志中均被略去。
