And when they came to the camp of Israel
 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 {m}, 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".
