BrLXXΚαὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ἦλθον οἱ υἱοὶ Μωὰβ, καὶ υἱοὶ Ἀμμὼν, καὶ μετʼ αὐτῶν ἐκ τῶν Μιναίων πρὸς Ἰωσαφὰτ εἰς πόλεμον.
   (Kai meta tauta aʸlthon hoi huioi Mōab, kai huioi Ammōn, kai metʼ autōn ek tōn Minaiōn pros Yōsafat eis polemon. )

BrTrAnd after this came the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them some of the Minæans, against Josaphat to battle.

ULTAnd it happened after this, the sons of Moab and the sons of Ammon, and with them some Meunites came against Jehoshaphat for battle.[fn]


The reading some Meunites represents a correction to the Hebrew text, which reads, some Ammonites. It is thought that Meunites was original, and that a copyist changed it to some Ammonites. But this last reading makes no sense, because Ammonites have already been mentioned in this verse. However, different versions deal with this problem in different ways.

USTLater armies from Moab and Ammon and some soldiers from region of Meun, near Edom, came to fight against Jehoshaphat’s army.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

20:1 Meunites (see 1 Chr 4:41): The Meunites were a nomadic group living on the southern borders of Judah; their name probably survives as the Arab town of Ma’an, twelve miles southeast of Petra.
