Haydock's commentary
Month; Tisri, the third of which is still observed as a fast by the Jews. (Calmet)
Godolias had given a supper to the traitors, and had drunk plentifully. They set upon him while he and the people were retired to rest. (Josephus, Antiquities x. 11.)
This happened two months after the burning of Jerusalem, chap. xxix. 2. Nabuchodonosor soon after punished this perfidy of the Ammonites. (Calmet)
Bread: feasted. (Haydock)
Such tragedies are usually performed with the show of friendship. (Worthington)
