2 Samuel 10:17-18

Context

10:17 When David was informed, he gathered all Israel, crossed the Jordan River, 1  and came to Helam. The Arameans deployed their forces against David and fought with him. 10:18 The Arameans fled before Israel. David killed 700 Aramean charioteers and 40,000 foot soldiers. 2  He also struck down Shobach, the general in command of the army, who died there.

1 tn The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

2 tn Heb “horsemen” (so KJV, NASB, NCV, NRSV, NLT) but the Lucianic recension of the LXX reads “foot soldiers,” as does the parallel text in 1 Chr 19:18. Cf. NAB, NIV.
