2Sa 8:3, 10:8, 15-18, 1Ch 18:3-9, 19:6, 16-19 | TSK | STEP | Hadadezer. Hadarezer. Zobah. at the river.

Hadarezer.Hadadezer, [Hadad'ezer ,] in the parallel passage, seems an evident mistake for [Hadar'ezer ,] Hadarezer; for the LXX. and Vulgate there, as here, read [Adaraazar,] Adarezer. The difference arises from the mistake of a [Rêysh,] {raish,} for a [Dâleth,] {daleth,} two letters very similar.

seven hundred. David.The words {wyakker Dawid eth col haraichev,} should be rendered, "and David disjointed all the chariots;" which is nearly the rendering of the LXX., [kai paraluse David panta ta armata.] To have houghed the horses would have been both unreasonable and inhuman; for, as he had gained so complete a victory, there was no danger of their falling into the hands of the enemy; and if he did not choose to keep them, which indeed the law would not permit, he ought to have killed them outright.
