Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the children of Ammon came out,.... Either out of Rabbah their metropolis, as Josephus u; or rather out of Medeba, as it seems from 1 Chronicles 19:7; a city that lay on the borders of their country, and was a frontier town, see Numbers 21:30;
and put the battle in array, at the entering in of the gate; of the city of Medeba; they were first within the city, but, upon the approach of Joab and his army, they came out and drew up in a line of battle at the gate of it:
and the Syrians of Zoba, and of Rehob, and Ishtob, and Maacah, [were] by themselves in the field; at some distance from the city, the Ammonites not choosing to trust: mercenaries in it; and perhaps they placed these ambush in the field, to get Joab between two fires, as we now express it.
u Antiqu. l. 7. c. 6. sect. 2.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Came out - From their city, Rabbah Deuteronomy 3:11, Deuteronomy 3:15 or 20 miles from Medeba, where 1 Chronicles 19:7 the Syrian army was encamped. Medeba (modern Madeba) was taken from Sihon Numbers 21:30, and fell to Reuben Joshua 13:9, Joshua 13:16; in the reign of Ahaz it seems to have returned to Moab Isaiah 15:2, and in the time of the Maccabees to the Amorites (1 Macc. 9:36, 37). In church history it was a bishopâs see.
In the field - i. e. in the plain below the round rocky hill on which the city stood.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Samuel 10:8. At the entering in of the gate — This was the city of Medeba, as we learn from 1 Chronicles 19:7.
