Verse 20

(20) And the bands of the Moabites invaded.—Rather, And troops of Moabites used to invade. They took advantage of the weakened condition of Israel to revenge the devastation of their country described in 2 Kings 3:25.

At the coming in of the year.—So the Targum and the LXX. The Syriac, Vulg., and Arabic understand,” in that (or, ‘the same’) year.” The preposition has probably fallen out of the Hebrew text: read, běbô shânâh, “when the year came in”—i.e., in the spring. (Comp. 2 Samuel 11:1.)
