Gill's Notes on the Bible
And it came to pass after this,.... After the former battle:
that there was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob; in
1 Chronicles 20:4 it is called Gezer; either the place had two names, or these two places were near each other; so that the battle may be said to be fought both at the one and at the other, being fought equally near to both:
then Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Saph, which [was] of the sons of the giant; who is called Sippai, 1 Chronicles 20:4; he had his name from the lintel of a door, being as high as one, so tall that he could scarce go under one. Sibbechai was one of David's worthies, 1 Chronicles 11:29; perhaps a descendant of Hushah, who sprung from Judah, 1 Chronicles 4:4.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
A battle in Gob - In the parallel passage (marginal reference), “Gezer” is named as the field of this battle. However, Gath is named 2 Samuel 21:20, 2 Samuel 21:22 in a way to make it probable that Gath was the scene of all the battles. The Septuagint in this verse has “Gath.”
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Samuel 21:18. A battle - at Gob — Instead of Gob, several editions, and about forty of Kennicott's and De Rossi's MSS., have nob; but Gezer is the name in the parallel place, 1 Chronicles 20:4.
