29 And they slew of the Moabites the same time, about a ten thousand men which were all fat, and all strong men, and there escaped not a man. 30 So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel: and the land had rest lxxx. years.
29 And they slewe of the Moabites the same tyme, aboute a ten thousande men whiche were all fat, and all strong men, and there escaped not a man. 30 So Moab was subdued that day vnder the hande of Israell: and the land had rest lxxx. yeares.
When they had stopped the passages of the river of Jordan, they slew x. thousand Moabites, which at the time dwelt in the dominions of the Hebrews. And they which were slain were no common men, but in our history, are called Fat men, not that they were fat in body but in richesse. For they were rich and very strong. For by their might and warlike power the Israelites were brought into bondage. Wherefore it is very aptly a little afterward said, that the Hebrews when they had gotten this victory, were in quiet a very long time after: for the Moabites were so consumed and worn away, by reason their notable and excellent captains were lost,1 that they were not able to renew war again. And therefore it is said, That Moab was subdued under the hand of Israel. Augustine diligently considering, that the land was at rest lxxx. years, hath learnedly noted, that the Romans had never peace above the space of xl. years, which they had in the time of Numa Pompilius. For the king setting aside the study of making war, applied himself wholly to institute ceremonies. Wherefore thereby he concludeth that the affairs of the Israelites were longer in quiet, than were the affairs of the Romans. Howbeit the Hebrews think, that in that sum of lxxx. years are comprehended those xviii years, wherein the Hebrews served the king of Moab, that the supputation of the time might agree more justly.
