2 Samuel 10:1

Context
David and the Ammonites

10:1 Later the king of the Ammonites died and his son Hanun succeeded him. 3 

1 tn Heb “the bridle of one cubit.” Many English versions treat this as a place name because the parallel text in 1 Chr 18:1 reads “Gath” (which is used by NLT here). It is possible that “the bridle of one cubit” is to be understood as “the token of surrender,” referring to the Philistine’s defeat rather than a specific place (cf. TEV, CEV).

2 tn Heb “from the hand [i.e., control] of the Philistines.”

3 tn Heb “reigned in his place.”
