Of the gate, to wit, of Medeba, as it is expressed, 1Ch_19:7, which was a frontier city. See Num_21:30. This place they chose for the fight, that they might both defend that city and their country, whereof that was the entrance, and, if need were, might retreat into it. The Syrians were by themselves in the field; that by their numerous forces they might fall upon the Israelites on the other side. Which were the most valiant and expert soldiers.
