This is better than the Hebrew margin (Qeri), and they smote it (i.e. Moab), or the reading of some MSS. and the Targum and Syriac, "and they smote them, and smote Moab," which is tautologous. The original reading is perhaps represented by that of the LXX., ??? ???????? ?????????????? ???????????? ??? ????, "and they entered the country, destroying as they went on." (In Hebrew the participles would be infinitives.) Verse 24. - And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up. The first rush of the main body would be upon the camp, where they would expect to find the richest spoil.

The marginal translation follows the Keri וַיַּכוּ, which is (as Keil says) "a bad emendation."Parallel Commentaries ...
