"Then he took his oldest son who was to reign in his place, and offered him as a burnt offering on the wall. And there came great wrath against Israel, and they departed from him and returned to their own land."
The king of Moab, in his desperation, would offer up his son to the pagan gods, yet to no avail. His army was soundly defeated, the cities destroyed, the land spoiled and water sources stopped up. Yet God displays His grace and mercy in pulling out the army of Israel from the fray. God soundly defeated the foe, yet was not willing to utterly destroy. It shows His long suffering for those who have even a glimmer of hope in Him.
