1 Chronicles 19:2

Nahash Samuel omits, but adds “Hanun.” The omissions in each are perhaps accidental. Saul’s first campaign was against Nahash (1 Samuel 11).

Children of Ammon. — Sons of Ammon, like “sons of Israel.” The title calls attention to their tribal organisation.

Because. — For. Samuel, “according as.”

Shewed kindness to me. — The Hebrew phrase, which answers to the Greek of Luke 1:72. (See Revised Version.)

The rest of the verse is made more perspicuous than in 2 Samuel 10:2 by slight changes and additions.
