Clarke's Commentary on the BibleDavid took Metheg-ammah - This is variously translated. The Vulgate has, Tulit David fraenum tributi, David removed the bondage of the tribute, which the Israelites paid to the Philistines. Some think it means a fortress, city, or strong town; but no such place as Metheg-ammah is known. Probably the Vulgate is nearest the truth. The versions are all different.

And after 2 Samuel 7:9 And I was with you wherever you went, and have cut off all your enemies out of your sight, and have made you a great name... 2 Samuel 21:15-22 Moreover the Philistines had yet war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him... Metheg-ammah. or, the bridle of Ammah 2 Samuel 2:24 Joab also and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they were come to the hill of Ammah... 1 Chronicles 18:1 Now after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them... Gath In the parallel passage of Chronicles, we read, `David took Gath and her towns;' and it is probable, that Gath and its districts were called {Metheg-ammah} in David's time; which, being unusual or becoming obsolete, in the time of the author of the Chronicles, led him thus to explain it. 2 Samuel 8:1 Parallel Commentaries
