The author is speaking as if the Ammonites had made themselves smell so bad that they were offensive to David. He is using this image to mean that the Ammonites had provoked David. Your language may have a comparable image that you could use in your translation. You could also use plain language. If you have already translated the book of 1 Samuel, see how you translated the similar expression in 1 Samuel 13:4. Alternate translation: [they had incensed David] or [they had provoked David]

The author is using the names of each of these kingdoms to represent soldiers from those kingdoms. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [20,000 footsoldiers from Aram of Beth-Rehob and Aram of Zoba, 1,000 men of the king of Maacah, and 12,000 men of Tob]

וְאִ֣ישׁ ט֔וֹב
and,the_man_of good
The author is not referring to a specific man of Tob. He means men from Tob in general. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use an expression that would be more natural in your language. Alternate translation: [and men from Tob]
