What does 1 Chronicles 19:6 mean?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown
6. when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David--One universal feeling of indignation was roused throughout Israel, and all classes supported the king in his determination to avenge this unprovoked insult on the Hebrew nation. Hanun ... sent a thousand talents of silver--a sum equal to £342,100, to procure the services of foreign mercenaries. chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia ... Syria-maachah, and ... Zobah--The Mesopotamian troops did not arrive during this campaign (1Ch 19:16). Syria-maachah lay on the north of the possessions of the trans-jordanic Israelites, near Gilead. Zobah--(see on 1Ch 18:3).

Adam Clarke's Commentary
Verse 6 Chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia - These are not mentioned in the parallel place in Samuel; probably they did not arrive till the Ammonites and their other allies were defeated by the Israelites in the first battle.
