The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 19:17
Came upon them . The reading of the parallel passage is probably correct, i.e. they "came to Helam," inasmuch as the place is repeated, both in 1 Chronicles 19:16 and 1 Chronicles 19:17 . Nothing else, however, is known of Helam. The Septuagint has αἱλάμ . read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 19:1-19
David’s fame (18:1-22:1)Before speaking further of the temple, the writer lists a number of David’s victories in war. These records show how God was strengthening David’s kingdom according to his promise, but they show also why God would not allow David to build the temple. One who had caused so much bloodshed was not a suitable person to build the nation’s sacred place of worship (see 22:7-10).The writer records victories over miscellaneous enemies (18:1-17; see notes on 2 Samuel 8:1-18);... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Chronicles 19:1-19
David’s Wars with-the Ammonites and the SyriansThis chapter is parallel to 2 Samuel 10:1-19 with some differences in certain names, and a few additions.7. Thirty and two thousand chariots] The reading is probably corrupt: in 2 Samuel 10:6 it is ’thirty two thousand footmen,’ with a thousand more from Maachah (whose forces are not here numbered), no mention being made of chariots.18. Seven thousand.. chariots.. forty thousand footmen] 2 Samuel 10:18 has ’seven hundred chariots and forty thousand... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Chronicles 19:17
(17) Came upon them.—Samuel, “came to Hêlâm.” The chronicler seems to have substituted an intelligible phrase for the name of an unknown locality. Professor Sayce has suggested to the writer that this mysterious Helam is no other than Aleppo, the Halman of the Assyrian monuments.Upon them . . . against them.—Literally, unto them (’alêhem). The Hebrew term, “to Helam” (Helâmah), contains the same consonants as this prepositional phrase, with one extra. Perhaps, however, the term Helâmah was... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Chronicles 19:6-19
We may see here, 1. How the hearts of sinners that are marked for ruin are hardened to their destruction. The children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David (1 Chron. 19:6), and then it would have been their wisdom to desire conditions of peace, to humble themselves and offer any satisfaction for the injury they had done him, the rather because they had made themselves not only odious to David, but obnoxious to the justice of God, who is King of nations, and will assert... read more
