Context — David Defeats Ammon and Aram
17When this was reported to David, he gathered all Israel, crossed the Jordan, advanced toward the Arameans, and arrayed for battle against them. When David lined up to engage them in battle, they fought against him.
18But the Arameans fled before Israel, and David killed seven thousand of their charioteers and forty thousand foot soldiers. He also killed Shophach the commander of their army.
19When Hadadezer’s subjects saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they made peace with David and became subject to him. So the Arameans were unwilling to help the Ammonites anymore.

1 Chronicles 19:19 Summary
This verse tells us that after the Arameans were defeated by Israel, they decided to make peace with David and become subject to him. This shows that even those who were once against God's people can come to recognize His power and authority, as seen in 1 Chronicles 19:18. It's a reminder that God is in control of all things, and we can trust in His sovereignty, just like David did (Psalm 23:4). By surrendering to God, we can experience His peace and protection in our lives, just like the Arameans did when they made peace with David.
Frequently Asked Questions
What led to the Arameans making peace with David and becoming subject to him?
The Arameans made peace with David after they were defeated by Israel, as seen in 1 Chronicles 19:19, and this was likely due to the significant losses they suffered, including the death of their commander Shophach, as mentioned in 1 Chronicles 19:18.
Why did the Arameans refuse to help the Ammonites after making peace with David?
The Arameans were unwilling to help the Ammonites anymore because they had been decisively defeated by Israel and had made peace with David, as stated in 1 Chronicles 19:19, and likely did not want to provoke another conflict.
What can we learn from the Arameans' decision to make peace with David?
The Arameans' decision to make peace with David after being defeated by him teaches us the importance of humility and recognizing God's sovereignty, as seen in Proverbs 21:1, where it says that the king's heart is in the hand of the Lord.
How does this event relate to God's larger plan for Israel?
This event is part of God's plan to establish David as a powerful king over Israel, as promised in 2 Samuel 7:12-13, and to demonstrate His power and protection over His people, as seen in Psalm 121:4, which says that He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 19:19
(19) And when the servants of Hadarezer.—Samuel is fuller and clearer: “And all the kings, servants of Hadarezer.” The tributaries of Hadadezer now transferred their fealty to David. They made peace with David.—Samuel, “with Israel.” And became his servants.—Literally, and served him. Samuel, “and served them.” To the writer of Samuel God’s people is the main topic; to the chronicler the divinely-anointed king. The difference, therefore, though slight, is characteristic. Neither would the Syrians’ help.—And Aram was not willing to come to the help of the sons of Ammon. Samuel, “And Aram feared to come to the help,” &c.

Cambridge Bible on 1 Chronicles 19:19
19. the servants] i.e. his vassals and tributaries; in 2 Sam. “all the kings that were servants to Hadarezer.” We are not told what course Hadarezer himself took; possibly, being deserted by his allies, he ceased from hostilities without making any treaty with David.
