Explanation preview
The verse follows the Ammonites' hiring of Aramean mercenaries after they humiliated David's envoys. When the Arameans regroup under Hadadezer and gather at Helam beyond the Euphrates, David responds personally rather than sending Joab, mustering all Israel, crossing the Jordan, and marching to meet them.
