2 SAMUEL CHAPTER 10



David sendeth messengers to comfort the king of the Ammonites: he abuseth them, 2Sa_10:1-5. The Ammonites and Syrians prepare to fight against the Israelites; and are overcome by Joab and Abishai, 2Ki_10:6-14. They renewing their forces, are again conquered by David, 2Ki_10:15-19.



The king of the children of Ammon; Nahash, 2Sa_10:2; probably the same whose army Saul defeated and destroyed, 1Sa 11, who out of enmity to Saul showed kindness to David, as it follows; hoping also by fomenting the differences between Saul and David, to make way for his future conquests.
