gathered: Heb. were cried together

put on armour: Heb. gird himself with a girdle. 1 Kings 20:11, Ephesians 6:14

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And when all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them,.... The kings of Israel, Judah, and Edom:

they gathered all that were able to put on armour, and upward; that were of an age capable of that, and all who were more grown; or "girt on a girdle" l, a military one, with which the sword was girt, who were at age to wear and knew how to wield a sword: and stood in the border; of their land, between Edom and them, to defend themselves and their country against these invaders.

l חגר חגרה "eingente cingulo", Montanus.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And stood in the border - On the north side of the wady, ready to defend their territory.
