1 Chronicles 19
1 David's messengers, sent to comfort Hanun, the son of Nahash, are villainously treated.6 The Ammonites, strengthened by the Syrians, are overcome by Joab and Abishai.16 Shophach, making a new supply of the Syrians, is slain by David.

But as the word {raichev} denotes not only a chariot, but a rider, (see Isa 21:7,) it ought most probably to be rendered here, in a collective sense, cavalry; and then the number of troops will exactly agree with the passage in Samuel. It is probable that they were a kind of auxiliary troops who were usually mounted on horses, or in chariots, but who occasionally served as foot-soldiers. the king of Maachah.This variation exists only in the translation, the original being the same in both places, {melech mäachah,} "the king of Maachah." 2Sa 10:6king Maachah.
