2)

What is the meaning of "Evraso v'Lo Chen"?

Rashi: Their hatred for Yisrael is not justified.

2.

Radak #1: Mo'av's hatred for its Nochri neighbors is without reason, only due to its pride.

3.

Radak #2: Mo'av's anger [what they wanted to do amidst anger] was not fulfilled. "Chen" is true, like "Ken Bnos Tzlafchad Dovros" (Bamidbar 27:7).

1

Radak (Yeshayah 16:6): Badav is like "Cherev El ha'Badim v'No'alu" (50:36).

2

Radak: ["V'Lo] Chen" applies to Badav, even though the Trup (note) on "Chen" is Asnachta (which ends the first matter in the verse, like a semicolon). Also Yonason translated like this, and so it is in Yeshayah (16:5. The Asnachta is under "David", yet "David" applies also to the end of the verse. - PF) We can explain also like the Trup; "v'Lo Chen" applies to "Evraso" (refer to 48:30:2:1-3).

4)

Why does it say "Lo Chen Asu"?

1.

Rashi: They did not return to the seed of Avraham like [what he] bestowed to them. He fought the [four] kings, and saved their patriarch Lot!

2.

Radak: Bnei Mo'av did not do like they intended.

3.

Malbim: They did not flee.
