Even Soldiers Weep
All the commentators highlight the profound terror described in this verse. The panic is so complete that it grips even the 'armed soldiers,' Moab's primary defense. Instead of fighting, they join the wailing. As Matthew Henry notes, this shows how easily God can neutralize the very source of a nation's strength, reminding us that ultimate security is not found in human power.
