SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:24
Mas cuando llegaron al campamento de Israel, se levantaron los israelitas e hirieron a los de Moab, los cuales huyeron delante de ellos; y los hirieron de nuevo ; y siguieron empero hiriendo todavía a los de Moab.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 24. And when they came to the camp of Israel , etc.] Not in an orderly regular manner, in rank and file, as an army should march, but in a confused manner, everyone striving who should get thither first, and have the largest share of the booty: the Israelites rose up and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them ; being prepared for them, they fell upon them sword in hand, and soon obliged them to flee: but they went forward smiting the Moabites, even in their country ; they pursued them closely, and slew them as they fled, and followed them not only to their borders, but into their own country: though Schultens f36 , from the use of the word hbn in the Arabic language, renders the passage, “and they blunted their swords in it (in that slaughter), even by smiting the Moabites”.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 20-27 - It is a blessing to be favoured with the company of those who have power with God, and can prevail by their prayers. A kingdom may be upheld and prosper, in consequence of the fervent prayers of those wh are dear to God. May we place our highest regard upon such as are mos precious in his account. When sinners are saying Peace, peace destruction comes upon them: despair will follow their mad presumption In Satan's service and at his suggestion, such horrid deeds have bee done, as cause the natural feelings of the heart to shudder; like the king of Moab's sacrificing his son. It is well not to urge the worst of men to extremities; we should rather leave them to the judgment of God __________________________________________________________________
