1 Chronicles 18:10

He sent. — Heb., and he sent.

Hadoram. — Samuel, “and Toi sent Joram” (LXX., “Jeddûram”). Vulg., “Adoram;” but Syriac and Arabic, “Joram.” Hadoram, or Adoram (Hadar or Adar, is high), seems right; but Joram, i.e., Jehoram (Jehovah is high), may be correct, for it appears from an inscription of Sargon that the God of Israel was not unknown to the Hamathites. Sargon calls their king Iahu-bihdi.

To congratulate. — Bless — i.e., pronounce him happy.

Had war with Tou. — A man of wars (a foeman) of Tou was Hadadezer.

And ... all manner... — Samuel, “and in his hand [were] vessels of silver, and vessels of gold,” &c. The clause is here curtailed.
