We have here the Lord reckoning with other sinful nations. And first with Ammon. This people had been a long enemy to Israel, and upon every occasion did all they could to distress them. 2 Samuel 12:26 etc. Here therefore the Lord begins to reckon with Ammon. And observe on what account it is done, namely, because they rejoiced in the transgression of Israel, and the Lord's displeasure with Israel. Aha Aha! so would we have it; is the language of all carnal men, when gracious souls transgress and all into sin and trouble. Psalms 35:21. See also the whole prophecy of Obadiah.
