Theological / Devotional

The Moabites heard. The writer here goes back in point of time, telling how the Moabites had gathered themselves together for battle as soon as the word had reached them of the coming of the kings.

All that were able. That is, all the male population who were able to fight, from the youngest to the oldest. It was a general levy of all who were able to carry a sword.
