10:18 Did David’s army kill seven hundred or seven thousand Aramean charioteers? The figure given here is one-tenth the total in the parallel passage, 1Ch 19:18. As in other numeric disagreements between 1 and 2 Samuel and 1 and 2 Chronicles (see note on 2Sm 8:4), one of the two verses must incorporate a scribal error introduced after the original manuscript was written. It is not possible today to determine which reading is the original, but the smaller number seems more likely.
