“Strong. Hebrew literally, “the fatness,” denoting what is most excellent, Psalm xxi. 30., and lxxvii. 31. (Calmet) — Eglon would have his chief nobility and most valiant soldiers round his person. (Haydock)”

“Thus they smote at that time about 10,000 Moabites, all fat and powerful men, i.e., the whole army of the enemy in Jericho and on this side of the Jordan, not letting a man escape. The expression "at that time" seems to imply that they did not destroy this number in one single engagement, but during the whole course of the war.”

The in-app commentary runs from the Fathers to the early-modern record, then stops — that's where the public-domain sources end, not where the reading does. For the modern reading, follow the sources directly.
