Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Chronicles 18:3

_ _ 1 Chronicles 18:3-17. David smites Hadadezer and the Syrians.

_ _ Hadarezer — or, “Hadadezer” (2 Samuel 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 (Genesis 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 (Genesis 15:18; Numbers 24:17). But others are of opinion that, as David’s name is mentioned (1 Chronicles 18:4), this reference is most applicable to Hadadezer.

Hadarezer:
Hadadezer, הדדעזר [Strong's H1909], in the parallel passage, seems an evident mistake for הדרעזר [Strong's H1928], Hadarezer; for the LXX and Vulgate there, as here, read Αδρααζαρ, Adarezer. The difference arises from the mistake of a ר, raish, for a ד, daleth, two letters very similar.
2 Samuel 8:3 David smote also Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his border at the river Euphrates.
, Hadadezer

Zobah:

1 Samuel 14:47 So Saul took the kingdom over Israel, and fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines: and whithersoever he turned himself, he vexed [them].
2 Samuel 10:6 And when the children of Ammon saw that they stank before David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Bethrehob, and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and of king Maacah a thousand men, and of Ishtob twelve thousand men.
Psalms 60:1 [[To the chief Musician upon Shushaneduth, Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aramnaharaim and with Aramzobah, when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of salt twelve thousand.]] O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.

Exodus 23:31 And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee.
