Theodoret of Cyrus
When the prophecy comes to pass, the sacred site will be surrendered to the ruthless invaders, resulting in the slaughter of the children. A messenger will emerge from there to inform them of these events, reminding them of the prophecy. They must not remain quiet; they should understand that this has transpired by My will and permission, a consequence of their wrongdoing. It is not their enemies who have overwhelmed them, but rather it is My righteous anger that has brought upon them their suffering. Subsequently, the prophecy shifts to those residing in the vicinity of Israel, who take delight in their calamity and are the first to bear the offspring of Ammon.
