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——大衛征服那百姓時所施的可怖嚴刑,以及他們可能遭受如此可怕報應的緣由,記載於
(2Sa 8:2)。
摩押人……進貢——即成為以色列的屬國。
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.

1Ch 18:3-17.
大衛擊敗哈大底謝與亞蘭人。
3. 哈大利謝——或作「哈大底謝」
(2Sa 8:3)，
這大概是該名原有的形式，源出於亞蘭神明哈達。此名似乎已成為該國列王官用的、世襲的稱號。
瑣巴——其位置可由「往」或「靠近哈馬」一語而定，位於大馬士革東北偏北不遠處，有人以為即較早時期稱為何把
(Ge 14:15)
的那地。在大馬士革興起之前，瑣巴乃是那在敘利亞諸小國中稱霸之王國的京城。
他往伯拉河那邊去，要堅立自己的國權——有人以此指大衛而言，說他正設法在一個方向擴張自己的疆域，直至靠近伯拉河的一點，以應驗那應許
(Ge 15:18; Nu 24:17)。
但另有人以為，既然這裏提及大衛的名
(1Ch 18:4)，
此語用以指哈大底謝最為貼切。
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. 大衛從他那裏奪了一千輛戰車——（參
2Sa 8:3-14）。
在
2Sa 8:4
說大衛奪了馬兵七百人，而此處卻說奪了七千人。兩處記述在經文上如此大的差異，大概是由於抄寫的人混淆了表示數目的兩個希伯來字母，並忽略或抹去了其中一個字母上的點。我們無法斷定七百或七千哪一個更為正確。大概前者應當採用〔DAVIDSON'S HERMENEUTICS〕。
卻留下一百輛車——大概為要在凱旋返回耶路撒冷時列隊誇耀，用過之後，便與其餘的一同毀掉。
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. 又從提巴和均——這些地方在
2Sa 8:8
稱為比他和比羅亞。也許一個是猶太的名稱，另一個是亞蘭的名稱。它們的位置以及彼此間的關係，皆無從查考。亞拉伯譯本以為它們就是以米撒（即今之荷姆斯）和巴力貝克，這兩處與瑣巴的相對位置十分吻合。
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——他們組成王家的衛隊。基列提人大概就是那些勇敢的人，在大衛寄居非利士人之間時一直跟隨他，並從那個民族得名
(1Sa 30:14; Eze 25:16; Zep 2:5)，
也得着了射箭的技巧；比利提人則是那些在洗革拉歸附他的人，他們的名字出自比利，是那隊伍中的首領
(1Ch 12:3)，
既是便雅憫人，便擅長使用甩石機弦。
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.
大衛制服非利士人與摩押人
1. 大衛……奪取了迦特和屬迦特的村莊——大衛在非利士境內征服的全部範圍,此處有清楚的說明;而在平行經文
(2Sa 8:1)
中,只是一般性地加以描述。迦特即是在那裡所稱的「米特迦特(Metheg-ammah)」(即「臂轡」)——此名或因它作為首府對其他非利士城邑的統轄地位,或因攻取這一要地及其附屬城鎮之後,他便完全控制了那不安分的鄰族。
