2 Samuel 8:6

2 Samuel 8:6 -

Garrisons . This is the word used in 1 Samuel 10:5 and 1 Samuel 13:3 . The Arameans were left free to manage their internal affairs themselves, but they had to pay tribute (see on 1 Samuel 13:2 ); and to prevent the assembling of troops to contest David's authority and shake off his yoke, garrisons were stationed in such places as commanded the country. The Philistines had done the same in Israel when they were masters there.
