2 Reyes 3:26 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 3:26

And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too sore for
him
The siege was so close, the slingers or engineers did so much execution, that he saw the city would soon be taken, and he be obliged to deliver it up:

he took with him seven hundred men that drew swords;
men expert in war, bold and daring:

to break through even unto the king of Edom;
through his quarters, and so escape, he lying nearest to the city, and perhaps the weakest body of men with him; or he might think he was not so hearty in the cause of the kings, and would make but a feeble resistance, and let him pass:

but they could not;
break through they met with a greater opposition than was expected perhaps the Edomites remembered how they had lately used them, which made them fight more desperately against them, see ( 2 Chronicles 20:23 ) .

2 Reyes 3:26 In-Context

24 Pero cuando llegaron al campamento de Israel, los israelitas se levantaron e hirieron a los moabitas, y 茅stos huyeron delante de ellos; y los israelitas se adentraron en el pa铆s matando a los moabitas.
25 Destruyeron las ciudades, y cada uno arroj贸 su piedra en toda parcela de tierra buena, y las llenaron. Cegaron todas las fuentes de agua y talaron todos los 谩rboles buenos, hasta dejar en Kir-hareset s贸lo sus piedras; no obstante, los honderos la rodearon y la destruyeron.
26 Al ver el rey de Moab que la batalla arreciaba contra 茅l, tom贸 consigo setecientos hombres que sacaban espada, para abrir brecha hacia el rey de Edom, mas no pudieron.
27 Entonces tom贸 a su hijo primog茅nito que hab铆a de reinar en su lugar, y lo ofreci贸 en holocausto sobre la muralla. Y hubo gran ira contra los israelitas, quienes se apartaron de all铆 y regresaron a su tierra.
