‏ 2 Samuel 10:6

6 When the Ammonites realized that David was disgusted with them, ^{▼▼tn Heb “that they were a stench [i.e., disgusting] with David.”} they ^{▼▼tn Heb “the Ammonites.”} sent and hired 20,000 foot soldiers from Aram Beth Rehob and Aram Zobah, ^{▼▼tn Or “Arameans of Beth Rehob and Arameans of Zobah.”} in addition to 1,000 men from the king of Maacah and 12,000 men from Ish Tob. ^{▼▼tn Or perhaps “the men of Tob.” The ancient versions (the LXX, the Syriac Peshitta, and Vulgate) understand the name to be “Ish Tob.” It is possible that “Ish” is dittographic and that we should read simply “Tob,” a reading adopted by a number of recent English versions.}
