The bands of the Moabites invaded the land - The Moabites had been increasing in strength ever since their revolt from Ahaziah II Kings 1:1. The defeat which they suffered at the hands of Jehoram and Jehoshaphat II Kings 3:24 did not affect their subjugation. They spread themselves into the country north of the Arnon Isaiah 16:2, and thence proceeded to make plundering expeditious year by year into Samaria, in Spring. This was the natural season for incursions, as then in Palestine the crops began to be ripe.
