Wesley's Notes for 2 Samuel 8:6

8:4 Seven hundred - Or, seven hundred companies of horsemen, that is, in all seven thousand; as it is #1Chron 18:4|, there being ten in each company, and each ten having a ruler or captain. Houghed - - That is, cut the sinews of their legs, that they might be useless for war.

8:5 Of Damascus - That is, who were subject to Damascus, the chief city of Syria.

8:7 On the servants - Or rather, which were with the servants, that is, committed to their custody, as being kept in the king's armoury: for it is not probable they carried them into the field.

8:8 From Betah, &c. - In #1Chron 18:8|, it is, from Tibhath, and from Chun. Either therefore the same cities were called by several names, as is usual, the one by the Hebrews, the other by the Syrians, or those were two other cities, and so the brass was taken out of these four cities.
