וַיֹּסִ֙פוּ֙ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל לַעֲשׂ֥וֹת הָרַ֖ע בְּעֵינֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה וַיְחַזֵּ֨ק יְהוָ֜ה אֶת־עֶגְל֤וֹן מֶֽלֶךְ־מוֹאָב֙ עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל עַ֛ל כִּֽי־עָשׂ֥וּ אֶת־הָרַ֖ע בְּעֵינֵ֥י יְהוָֽה׃
Orang Israel kembali melakukan apa yang jahat di mata Yang Mahakekal. Maka Yang Mahakekal menguatkan Eglon, raja Moab, melawan orang Israel, karena mereka telah melakukan apa yang jahat di mata Yang Mahakekal.
Metzudat David
AND HASHEM STRENGTHENED: They (Moabites) were weak, but Hashem strengthened them over Israel because of their evil actions.
