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 Cuando los moabitas llegaron al campamento de Israel, los israelitas les hicieron frente y los derrotaron. Aquellos se dieron a la fuga, pero los israelitas los persiguieron y los aniquilaron,
25 y destruyeron sus ciudades. Cada uno tir贸 una piedra en los campos f茅rtiles de Moab hasta llenarlos; adem谩s, cegaron los manantiales y cortaron los mejores 谩rboles. Solo Quir Jar茅set qued贸 en pie, aunque los honderos la cercaron y tambi茅n lograron conquistarla.
26 El rey de Moab, al ver que perd铆a la batalla, se llev贸 consigo a setecientos guerreros con el prop贸sito de abrirse paso hasta donde estaba el rey de Edom, pero no logr贸 pasar.
27 Tom贸 entonces a su hijo primog茅nito, que hab铆a de sucederlo en el trono, y lo ofreci贸 en holocausto sobre la muralla. A ra铆z de esto, se desat贸 contra Israel una furia incontenible, de modo que los israelitas tuvieron que retirarse y volver a su pa铆s.
