A Picture of Desperate Flight
Commentators paint a vivid picture of Moabite refugees fleeing disaster. They are carrying all the wealth and possessions they could gather, crossing a boundary known as the 'brook of the willows.' Scholars like Ellicott suggest this was a real stream marking the border with Edom, emphasizing that the Moabites were being driven completely out of their own land.
