“The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.”
God's judgment manifests: "and he killed the strongest of them, and laid low the picked men of Israel." The judgment strikes the most vigorous members of the people; those who should have been pillars of strength become victims of God's wrath. The selective nature of the judgment—striking the strongest—suggests that even military prowess cannot protect against divine judgment.
