Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(9, 10) The King of Hamath's embassy to David.(9) Now when . . .--And Tou king of Hamath heard. Samuel, "Toi." The Hebrew letters answering to w and y are often confused in MSS. T?-? is right; so LXX. and Vulg. in Samuel; Syriac, "Th-';" Arabic, "T-'u;" The Syriac here has "Ph-l king of the Antiochenes" (!); the Arabic, "Phawil king of Antioch," an apparent allusion to Pul the Assyrian (1Chronicles 5:26). Professor Sayce believes he has read the name Tu-ve-es--that is, To--on the stones from Hamath, now in the British Museum.
