Defeat of the Ammonites v. 6. And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, that they were a stench in his nostrils on account of their unprovoked treatment of his ambassadors, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver (almost $2,000,000) to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, beyond the Euphrates, and out of Syria-maachah, north of Gilead and Bozrah, in the country east of Jordan, and out of Zobah, north or... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 19:1-19

David's attempt to deal kindly with the new king of Ammon was misrepresented and resented, and his messengers treated with indignity.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Chronicles 19:1-19

1 Chronicles 19:7 . Thirty and two thousand chariots. In 2 Samuel 10:6., it is said they brought into the field from Zobah twenty thousand infantry, and from Maachah twelve thousand hired for a thousand talents of silver. Hence the passage should read: “They hired thirty two thousand men who fought in chariots.” 1 Chronicles 19:18 . David slew seven thousand and forty thousand.
