they sent messengers to bring more Arameans
on 1 Chronicles 19:16-18
Defeat drives Hadadezer's Arameans to bring more troops “from beyond the Euphrates”, led by Shophach. David himself “crossed the Jordan” to meet them. Chronicles counts “seven thousand of their charioteers” where 2 Sam 10:18 counts seven hundred, and Jamieson, Fausset and Brown note the difference without settling it.
