2 Reis 3:20 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 3:20

And it came to pass in the morning, when the meat offering was
offered
At Jerusalem; which always went along with the daily burnt offering of the lamb, which might not indeed be offered before break of day, yet quickly after; for no sacrifice could be offered before that, (See Gill on Exodus 29:39),

that, behold, there came water by the way of Edom;
not from the heavens, but it may be out of some rock, rolling along on the earth from the hills and mountains, down into the valleys, where the armies were:

and the country was filled with water;
all round about them. Who has not heard of the "thundering" legion, as it was called by the Emperor M. Aurelius, who, when the army under him was about to engage with the Germans and Sarmatians, and sadly distressed with thirst, fell down on their knees and prayed, upon which a large shower of rain came down to the refreshment of the army, and thunder bolts, which annoyed and put the enemy to flight ^F9? at the battle of the Romans with Jugurtha, a sudden and unexpected shower of rain fell, to the refreshment of the Romans, in intolerable thirst ^F11.

2 Reis 3:20 In-Context

18 Mas para o SENHOR isso ainda é pouco; ele também entregará Moabe nas suas mãos.

19 Vocês destruirão todas as suas cidades fortificadas e todas as suas cidades importantes. Derrubarão toda árvore frutífera, taparão todas as fontes e encherão de pedras todas as terras de cultivo”.

20 No dia seguinte, na hora do sacrifício da manhã, a água veio descendo da direção de Edom e alagou a região.

21 Quando os moabitas ficaram sabendo que os reis tinham vindo para atacá-los, todos os que eram capazes de empunhar armas, do mais jovem ao mais velho, foram convocados e posicionaram-se na fronteira.

22 Ao se levantarem na manhã seguinte, o sol refletia na água. Para os moabitas que estavam defronte dela, a água era vermelha como sangue.
