2 Samuel 10:15

15 videntes igitur Syri quoniam corruissent coram Israhel congregati sunt pariter

2 Samuel 10:15 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 10:15

And when the Syrians saw that they were smitten before
Israel
Considered it in their minds, and conversed with one another about it, and fearing what would be the consequence of it:

they gathered themselves together;
not only the forces got together again, that fled before Joab, but all the kings of Syria united their forces together, as appears from ( 2 Samuel 10:19 ) ; supposing that David would avenge himself on them for assisting the Ammonites against him; and therefore judged it advisable to raise a large army, that they might be in a condition to receive him.

2 Samuel 10:15 In-Context

13 iniit itaque Ioab et populus qui erat cum eo certamen contra Syros qui statim fugerunt a facie eius

14 filii autem Ammon videntes quod fugissent Syri fugerunt et ipsi a facie Abisai et ingressi sunt civitatem reversusque est Ioab a filiis Ammon et venit Hierusalem

15 videntes igitur Syri quoniam corruissent coram Israhel congregati sunt pariter

16 misitque Adadezer et eduxit Syros qui erant trans Fluvium et adduxit exercitum eorum Sobach autem magister militiae Adadezer erat princeps eorum

17 quod cum nuntiatum esset David contraxit omnem Israhelem et transivit Iordanem venitque in Helema et direxerunt aciem Syri ex adverso David et pugnaverunt contra eum
