We render, and I judge that best, He overturneth them (their persons) in the night; and so Elihu points at the season, or time, of Gods breaking and overthrowing them, he doth it in the night. We may take it strictly, as in the case of Pharaoh and the Egyptians, (Exod. 12.29.) as also in that of Belshazzar, (Dan. 5.30.) or, in the night, that is, suddenly, unexpectedly; Though a man be destroyed in the day, yet if it be done suddenly, he looking for no such matter, we may say it was done in the night; because then men are most secure: This way of expressing an unlooked for evil, the coming of in the night, was opened at the twentieth verse, therefore I shall not stay upon it, He overturneth them in the night.
