But woe to them that are with child
Who because of their burdens, would be very unfit for, and very
incapable of fleeing with any haste; and therefore very liable to
fall into the hands of the enemy, and become their prey:
and to them that give suck in those days;
who could not bear to leave their children behind, and yet would
not be able to carry them with them; at least not without great
trouble, and which would much retard their flight, and endanger
their being taken by the enemy; (See Gill on Matthew
24:19).
