2 Reis 3:24 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 3:24

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".

2 Reis 3:24 In-Context

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.
23 Então gritaram: “É sangue! Os reis lutaram entre si e se mataram. Agora, ao saque, Moabe!”
24 Quando, porém, os moabitas chegaram ao acampamento de Israel, os israelitas os atacaram e os puseram em fuga. Entraram no território de Moabe e o arrasaram.
25 Destruíram as cidades e, quando passavam por um campo cultivável, cada homem atirava uma pedra até que ficasse coberto. Taparam todas as fontes e derrubaram toda árvore frutífera. Só Quir-Haresete ficou com as pedras no lugar, mas homens armados de atiradeiras a cercaram e também a atacaram.
26 Quando o rei de Moabe viu que estava perdendo a batalha, reuniu setecentos homens armados de espadas para forçar a passagem, para alcançar o rei de Edom, mas fracassou.
