The Bible says no one went in or out because of Israel. If you knew an overpowering enemy was coming, why not get out of the way? Why not do what people do even today and leave? Why not, if you knew God was stronger, convert? Surrender? Only one nation came close, which we will see later, and they were not destroyed. The rest knew God was going to win and did nothing. We can't answer because we don't know, we weren't there, and we have no record. We can only wonder.
When does God want you to work on the Sabbath? Easy when He tells you to, but is that what is happening? The concept we see here wasn't that they were working, but God was going to do the real work, so in reality, they weren't disobeying.
