  1. 2 Samuel 10:6 tn Heb “that they were a stench [i.e., disgusting] with David.”
  2. 2 Samuel 10:6 tn Heb “the Ammonites.”
  3. 2 Samuel 10:6 tn Or “Arameans of Beth Rehob and Arameans of Zobah.”
  4. 2 Samuel 10:6 tn Or perhaps “the men of Tob.” The ancient versions (the LXX, the Syriac Peshitta, and Vulgate) understand the name to be “Ish Tob.” It is possible that “Ish” is dittographic and that we should read simply “Tob,” a reading adopted by a number of recent English versions.
