Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - 2 Samuel 10:1-19

7. The War with Ammon and the Syrians CHAPTER 10 1. David and Hanun (2 Samuel 10:1-5 ) 2. Ammon and the Syrians smitten (2 Samuel 10:6-19 ) The chapter with the war against Ammon and the Syrians is the prelude to the great sin of David. While Joab is carrying on the siege of Rabbah, the last city of the Ammonites, David, no doubt flushed with the great victory and prosperity, remained in his house and committed his awful sin. The war with Ammon originated through the insults which Hanun... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Samuel 10:1-19

The Ammonites were of the family of Lot (Genesis 19:36-38). We have seen in 1 Samuel 2:1 that in Saul's day their king was called "Nahash," which means "serpent." It is thought likely that this was a flattering title given to Ammonite kings because the serpent was considered to be the symbol of wisdom. Of course the wisdom of the world is "devilish" (James 3:15): this is not true wisdom, but subtlety. Ammon is the picture of satanically false religion. Its wicked cruelty was rewarded by a... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 10:1-19

VICTORY EVERYWHERE INTRODUCTORY WORDS The title to this lesson is from the phrase, twice repeated in chapter 8, “And the Lord preserved David whithersoever he went”; which the RV renders, “And the Lord gave victory to David whithersoever he went.” The Lord’s Battle It is important to keep in mind that the Lord gave the victory and that it was not David’s prowess that won it. Neither did his character merit it. God has a purpose concerning the redemption of the race in which He is using... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 2 Samuel 10:1-19

2 Samuel 10:0 [ The greatest and most critical war in the reign of David is now about to be reported. The 60th Psalm should be read in this connection. ] 1. And it came to pass after this, that the king [Nahash] of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead. 2. Then said David, I will shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father shewed kindness unto me. And David sent to comfort him by the hand of his servants for his father. And David's servants came into... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 2 Samuel 10:15-19

(15) ¶ And when the Syrians saw that they were smitten before Israel, they gathered themselves together. (16) And Hadarezer sent, and brought out the Syrians that were beyond the river: and they came to Helam; and Shobach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them. (17) And when it was told David, he gathered all Israel together, and passed over Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought with him. (18) And the Syrians fled before... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 2 Samuel 10:15-19

15-19 Here is a new attempt of the Syrians. Even the baffled cause will make head as long as there is any life in it; the enemies of the Son of David do so. But now the promise made to Abraham, Genesis 15:18, and repeated to Joshua, Joshua 1:4, that the borders of Israel should extend to the river Euphrates, was performed. Learn hence, that it is dangerous to help those who have God against them; for when they fall, their helpers will fall with them. read more

The Final Defeat of the Syrians v. 15. And when the Syrians saw that they were smitten before Israel, in the battle near Rabbah, they gathered themselves together, anxious to wipe out the disgrace of their defeat. v. 16. And Hadarezer, the mightiest Syrian king, sent, and brought out the Syrians that were beyond the river, in Mesopotamia: and they came to Helam, in the neighborhood of Hamath: and Shobach, the captain of the host of Hadarezer, went before them. v. 17.

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - 2 Samuel 10:8-19

2 Samuel ‘MORE THAN CONQUERORS THROUGH HIM’ 2Sa_10:8 - 2Sa_10:19 . David’s growing power would naturally be regarded by neighbouring states as a menace. Success provokes envy, and in this selfish world strength usually encroaches on weakness, and weakness dreads strength. So it was quite according to the way of the world that David’s friendly embassy to the king of Ammon should be suspected of covering hostile intentions. Those who have no kindness in their own hearts are slow to believe in... read more
