Gill's Notes on the Bible

And when it was told David,.... What preparations the Syrians were making to fight him, and where they were:

he gathered all Israel together; all the fighting men in the country:

and passed over Jordan, and came to Helam: which, according to Bunting b, was twenty miles from Jerusalem. David seems to have gone himself in person to this war:

and the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought with him; they formed themselves in a line of battle, and attacked him first, being eager to fight, and perhaps confident of victory, because of their numbers.

b Travels, &c. p. 140, 141.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Samuel 10:17. David - gathered all Israel together — He thought that such a war required his own presence.
