2 Samuele 10:8 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 10:8

And the children of Ammon came out
Either out of Rabbah their metropolis, as Josephus F21; or rather out of Medeba, as it seems from ( 1 Chronicles 19:7 ) ; a city that lay on the borders of their country, and was a frontier town, see ( Numbers 21:30 ) ;

and put the battle in array, at the entering in of the gate;
of the city of Medeba; they were first within the city, but, upon the approach of Joab and his army, they came out and drew up in a line of battle at the gate of it:

and the Syrians of Zoba, and of Rehob, and Ishtob, and Maacah, [were]
by themselves in the field;
at some distance from the city, the Ammonites not choosing to trust: mercenaries in it; and perhaps they placed these ambush in the field, to get Joab between two fires, as we now express it.

9 E Ioab, veggendo che la battaglia era volta contro a lui, davanti e dietro, fece una cernita d’infra tutti gli uomini scelti d’Israele, ed ordinò quelli contro a’ Siri.
10 E diede a condurre il rimanente della gente ad Abisai, suo fratello, e l’ordinò contro a’ figliuoli di Ammon; e disse ad Abisai:
