2 Samuel10:8
8 And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battel in aray at the entring in of the gate : and the Syrians of Zoba, and of Rehob, and Ishtob, and Maacah, were by themselves in the field .
To wit, of Medeba, as it is expressed 1 Chron. 19. 7. which was a frontier City. See Numb. 21. 30. This place they chose for the Fight, that they might both defend that City and their Country, whereof that was the entrance, and, if need were, might retreat into it.
That by their numerous Forces they might fall upon the Israelites on the other side.
