This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

10. γογγύζετε. See Exo 16:2; Exo 17:3; Num 14:2-29; Num 16:41.

ἀπώλοντο. Observe the aorist here for destruction by one act, as compared with the imperfect ἀπώλλυντο of the destruction of each person severally by the serpents. This has been overlooked by many copyists. See Critical Note.

ὀλοθρευτοῦ. The angel of death. Cf. Exo 12:23; Wis 18:25, where nearly the same Greek word is used in the Septuagint as here. Cf. also Genesis 19; 2Sa 24:16; 1Ch 21:12; 1Ch 21:15-16; 1Ch 21:20; 2Ki 19:35; 2Ch 32:21; Act 12:23. Estius concludes from Jud 1:5; Jud 1:9, that this was the Archangel Michael, but the passage does not seem to warrant the conclusion.
