On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

): He that is courageous among the mighty, that used to look danger in the face, and not be dismayed at it, shall flee away naked in that day, not only disarmed, having thrown away his weapons both offensive and defensive, but plundered of his treasure, which he thought to carry away with him, and he shall think it as much as he could expect that he has his life for a prey.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

The judgment of Moab, another of the nations that bordered upon Israel. They are reckoned with and shall be punished for three transgressions and for four, as those before. Moab's fourth transgression, as theirs who were before set to the bar, was cruelty.
