What Does Judges 3:29 Mean?
The victory is complete. Israel strikes down about ten thousand Moabites, described as strong men and valiant warriors, and not one of them escapes. The army that had held Israel in bondage is broken.
The thoroughness of the rout shows that the oppression of Moab is truly ended, not merely interrupted. The strength on which Eglon had relied avails nothing once the LORD turns the battle. Scripture testifies again and again that no host, however mighty, can stand when God acts to save His people. The eighteen-year yoke is shattered, and the deliverance the LORD purposed is fully achieved.
