Albert Barnes Commentary
"And it came to pass after this, that the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them some of the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle." — 2 Chronicles 20:1 (ASV)
The present Hebrew (and English) text mentions the Ammonites twice. Therefore, some adopt a different reading and translate, “the children of Ammon, and with them certain of the Maonites,” etc. Compare the notes on 2 Chronicles 20:10, Judges 10:12, and 1 Chronicles 4:41.
