Gill's Notes on the Bible

And it came to pass after this,.... After the wars with the Moabites, Syrians, and Edomites, being friendly with the children of Ammon, David sent an embassy to their king, after related; by which it appears what is said concerning the spoils of the children of Ammon, 2 Samuel 8:12, is by anticipation; for these spoils were not taken until the following war with them, the occasion of which is here told:

that the king of the children of Ammon died; whose name was Nahash, as is clear from 2 Samuel 10:2, and probably might be the same that came against Jabeshgilead, from whom Saul delivered the inhabitants of that place, 1 Samuel 11:1;

and Hanun his son reigned in his stead; who, being his son, was heir to his crown, and succeeded him in his kingdom.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The king - In marginal reference. Nahash, king, etc. The interval between the two events, not less than 50 years, and possibly more, is against his being the same as the Nahash of 1 Samuel 11:1-15.

The Ammonites are almost always spoken of as the children of Ammon, from the name of their first ancestor Ben-ammi Genesis 19:38.

Hanun - The equivalent of the Carthaginian Hanno, from the same root as the Hebrew, Hananiah, Johanan, Hannah, etc. The same name appears in composition with Baal in Baal-Hanan, an Aramean king Genesis 36:38-39.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER X

The king of Ammon being dead, David sends ambassadors to

comfort his son Hanun, by 2.

Hanun, misled by his courtiers, treats the messengers of David

with great indignity, 3-5.

The Ammonites, justly dreading David's resentment, send, and

hire the Syrians to make war upon him, 6.

Joab and Abishai meet them at the city of Medeba, and defeat

them, 7-14.

The Syrians collect another army, but are defeated by David with

great slaughter, and make with him a separate peace, 15-19.
