"Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
Fear took hold upon them there,.... That is, either when they came up to the city, and passed by it, and saw what they did; or, as Kimchi observes, in
the place where they thought to have made a great slaughter; that is, in Armageddon, Rev 16:16 ; so upon the slaughter of the seven thousand names of men, or men of name and renown, such as the kings here assembled, the remnant will be frightened, Rev 11:13 ; and pain, as of a woman in travail; this figure is made use of elsewhere, when the destruction of Babylon and the coming of Christ are spoken of; see Isa 13:8 .
