11	tn Heb “that they were a stench [i.e., disgusting] with David.”
12	tn Heb “the Ammonites.”
13	tn Or “Arameans of Beth Rehob and Arameans of Zobah.”
14	tn Or perhaps “the men of Tob.” The ancient versions (the LXX, the Syriac Peshitta, and Vulgate) understand the name to be “Ish-tob.” It is possible that “Ish” is dittographic and that we should read simply “Tob,” a reading adopted by a number of recent English versions.
