SEV Biblia, Chapter 21:29
¡Ay de ti, Moab! Pereciste, pueblo de Quemos; puso sus hijos en huida, y sus hijas en cautividad, por Sehón rey de los amorreos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Numbers 21:29
Verse 29. PART 2 Alas for thee, O Moab! Thou hast perished, O people of Chemosh! He hath given up his fugitive sons And his daughters into captivity, To the king of the Amorites, Sihon.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 29. Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone , etc.] The whole country ruined, or likely to be so: O people of Chemosh ; which was the name of their idol, who is called the abomination of the Moabites, ( 1 Kings 11:7 (see Gill on “ Jeremiah 48:7”)): he hath given his sons that escaped ; that is, the idol Chemosh had given his sons, the men of the country that worshipped him, who escaped the sword of the Amorites, these, and his daughters, into captivity unto Sihon king of the Amorites ; who took captive what he slew not, or would do so, Chemosh their god not being able to preserve them, but obliged to deliver them up: thus the composers of this song insult the god of the Moabites, as it was usual for conquerors so to do; (see Isaiah 10:10,11 36:18-20), though some think these are the words of the Israelites, making their observations upon the above song, which ends at verse twenty eight, and scoffing at the idol of the Moabites.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 21-35 - Sihon went with his forces against Israel, out of his own borders without provocation, and so ran upon his own ruin. The enemies of God' church often perish by the counsels they think most wisely taken. Og king of Bashan, instead of being warned by the fate of his neighbours to make peace with Israel, makes war with them, which proves in lik manner his destruction. Wicked men do their utmost to secure themselve and their possessions against the judgments of God; but all in vain when the day comes on which they must fall. God gave Israel success while Moses was with them, that he might see the beginning of the glorious work, though he must not live to see it finished. This was, i comparison, but as the day of small things, yet it was an earnest of great things. We must prepare for fresh conflicts and enemies. We mus make no peace or truce with the powers of darkness, nor even treat with them; nor should we expect any pause in our contest. But, trusting i God, and obeying his commands, we shall be more than conquerors ove every enemy __________________________________________________________________
