The timing is crucial as it follows Ehud's assassination of Eglon, the Moabite king, which was a turning point for Israel's deliverance.<p><b>they struck down about ten thousand Moabites</b><br>The Moabites were descendants of Lot and often in conflict with Israel. The number "ten thousand" signifies a complete and decisive victory, emphasizing the totality of the defeat. This victory was significant as it marked the liberation of Israel from Moabite oppression. The Moabites were located east of the Dead Sea, and their defeat here underscores the fulfillment of God's promise to deliver Israel from their enemies.<p><b>all robust and valiant men</b><br>This description highlights the strength and capability of the Moabite forces, making Israel's victory even more remarkable. The Moabite warriors were not weak or unprepared; they were formidable opponents. This emphasizes the divine intervention and empowerment of Israel's forces, as such a victory against strong adversaries would have been unlikely without God's aid.<p><b>Not one of them escaped</b><br>This phrase underscores the completeness of the victory. It reflects the thoroughness of God's deliverance and judgment against the Moabites. The total annihilation of the enemy is reminiscent of other biblical battles where God ensures victory for His people, such as the defeat of the Amalekites by Saul (1 Samuel 15) and the destruction of the Canaanite cities during Joshua's conquest. It also foreshadows the ultimate victory over sin and death through Jesus Christ, where no remnant of the enemy remains.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/ehud.htm">Ehud</a></b><br>The left-handed judge of Israel who delivered the Israelites from Moabite oppression by killing King Eglon and leading Israel to victory.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/m/moabites.htm">Moabites</a></b><br>A nation descended from Lot, often in conflict with Israel.
