King of Maacah
The Ammonites made themselves a stench to David when Hanun became king. The Ammonites, Syrians of Beth-rehob and Zobah, 20,000 foot soldiers, men of Maacah, 1,000 men, and men of Tob, 12,000 men, drew up against David at the gate and fled before Joab and Abishai. Hadadezer sent out Syrians from beyond the Euphrates, but they fled and were defeated by King David. All kings who were servants to Hadadezer made peace with Israel, and the Syrians were afraid to save the Ammonites anymore.
