King James Translators' Notes

Hadarezer: or, Hadadezer

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

1Ch 18:3-17. David Smites Hadadezer and the Syrians.

3. Hadarezer-or, "Hadadezer" (2Sa 8:3), which was probably the original form of the name, was derived from Hadad, a Syrian deity. It seems to have become the official and hereditary title of the rulers of that kingdom.

Zobah-Its situation is determined by the words "unto" or "towards Hamath," a little to the northeast of Damascus, and is supposed by some to be the same place as in earlier times was called Hobah (Ge 14:15). Previous to the rise of Damascus, Zobah was the capital of the kingdom which held supremacy among the petty states of Syria.

as he went to stablish his dominion by the river Euphrates-Some refer this to David, who was seeking to extend his possessions in one direction towards a point bordering on the Euphrates, in accordance with the promise (Ge 15:18; Nu 24:17). But others are of opinion that, as David's name is mentioned (1Ch 18:4), this reference is most applicable to Hadadezer.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

18:1-17 David's victories. - This chapter is the same as 2Sa 8. Our good fight of faith, under the Captain of our salvation, will end in everlasting triumph and peace. The happiness of Israel, through David's victories, and just government, faintly shadowed forth the happiness of the redeemed in the realms above.


1 Chronicles 18:2 He defeated Moab, and the Moabites became servants to David, bringing tribute.
1 Chronicles 18:4 David took from him 1,000 chariots and 7,000 horsemen and 20,000 foot soldiers, and David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved enough of them for 100 chariots. (NASB ©1995)

And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to stablish his dominion by the river Euphrates.

Hadarezer Hadadezer in the parallel passage, seems an evident mistake for Hadarezer; for the LXX. and Vulgate there, as here, read () Adarezer. The difference arises from the mistake of a (), raish for a () daleth, two letters very similar. 2Sa 8:3
