Verse [1 Chronicles 19:1](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/19/1). ***Now it came to pass*** — See the same history, [2 Samuel 10:1](../../../kjv/2-samuel/10/1), &c., and the notes there.

Verse [1 Chronicles 19:4](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/19/4). ***And cut off their garments in the midst*** — *Usque ad* *eorum, pudenda*. So the *Targum, Jarchi*, and others; leaving exposed what nature and decency require to be concealed. See on [2 Samuel 10:4](../../../kjv/2-samuel/10/4).

Verse [1 Chronicles 19:6](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/19/6). ***Chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia*** — These are not mentioned in the parallel place in *Samuel*; probably they did not arrive till the Ammonites and their other allies were defeated by the Israelites in the first battle.

Verse [1 Chronicles 19:7](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/19/7). ***Thirty and two thousand*** — The whole number mentioned in Samuel is, *Syrians*, of Beth-rehob, and of Zoba, *twenty thousand*; of King *Maacah, one thousand*; of *Ish-tob, twelve thousand*; in all *thirty-three thousand*. Of chariots or cavalry there is no mention. These could not have been the whole army.

Verse [1 Chronicles 19:13](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/19/13). ***Be of good courage*** — [2 Samuel 10:12](../../../kjv/2-samuel/10/12).

Verse [1 Chronicles 19:18](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/19/18). ***Forty thousand footmen*** — See this number accounted for in *Clarke's note on "*[2 Samuel 10:18](../../../kjv/2-samuel/10/18)*"*.

Verse [1 Chronicles 19:19](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/19/19). ***They made peace with David, and became his servants*** — See on [2 Samuel 10:19](../../../kjv/2-samuel/10/19), and the concluding note in that place; and see for *omissions* in Chronicles, the preface to these books.
