Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(28) The Lord hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand.--Comp. Judges 7:9-15; 1Samuel 17:47; 1Kings 22:12.Took the fords of Jordan.--This was a matter of extreme importance. The fords of Jordan were few, and far distant from each other. (Joshua 2:7.) The steep ravine through which it flows forms a natural barrier to Western Palestine, and by securing the fords they cut off from the Moabites all chance of succour. The vehement rapidity of Ehud's movements had rendered their escape impossible.Suffered not a man to passover.--Comp. Judges 12:5-6. It was a massacre of vengeance, like the Sicilian Vespers, or the massacre of the English of the Pale in Ireland, or that of the Danes in England on St. Brice's day. . . .
