Theological / Devotional

A light thing. Things that are impossible for man are as nothing for the Lord. The supplying of the water would be regarded by Israel as a miracle sufficiently great in itself. But God would go further and cause the water to supply a double purpose, to save their own lives and to provide the means for the defeat of the enemy.

Into your hand. To Joram it appeared that God would deliver Israel into the hands of Moab, and he had vigorously expressed himself to that effect (see v. 10). Now it would be seen that the reverse was true, that God would deliver Moab into the hands of Israel.
