Contextual Overview

6 And the sons of Ammon saw that they were odious to David. And the sons of Ammon sent and hired Syrians from Beth-rehob, and Syrians from Zobah, twenty thousand footmen; and the king of Maacah with a thousand men; and the men of Tob 7 And David heard, and he sent Joab and all the army, the mighty men. 8 And the sons of Ammon came out and set the battle in order at the opening of the gate. And the Syrians of Zobah, and Rehob, and the men of Tob, and Maacah were by themselves in the field. 9 And Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind. And he chose from all the chosen in Israel, and set them in order to meet the Syrians. 10 And the rest of the people he gave into the hand of his brother Abishai, and he set in order to meet the sons of Ammon. 11 And he said, If the Syrians are stronger than I, then you shall be for me; and if the sons of Ammon are stronger than you, then I will come to help you. 12 Be strong, and let us be strong for our people, and for the cities of our God. And may Jehovah do that which seems good in His eyes. 13 And Joab and the people with him drew near to battle against the Syrians. And they fled before him. 14 And the sons of Ammon saw that the Syrians fled, and they fled before Abishai, and went into the city. And Joab returned from the sons of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And when David heard of [it],.... Of the preparation made by the Ammonites to fight with him:

he sent Joab and all the host of the mighty men: he sent out Joab his general, and an army under his command, consisting of men of strength, valour, and courage; or all the host and the mighty men, as Kimchi and Ben Melech, the famous mighty men mentioned in 2 Samuel 23:8; he did not think it advisable to wait for the Ammonites, but carried the war into their own country, and, instead of suffering them to invade his dominions, he invaded theirs.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

This sufficiently indicates the greatness of the danger to Israel from this formidable league of Ammonites and Syrians.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Samuel 10:7. All the host of the mighty — All his worthies, and the flower of his army.
