Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Judges 10:10-18

Here is, I. A humble confession which Israel make to God in their distress, Jdg. 10:10. Now they own themselves guilty, like a malefactor upon the rack, and promise reformation, like a child under the rod. They not only complain of the distress, but acknowledge it is their own sin that has brought them into the distress; therefore God is righteous, and they have no reason to repine. They confess their omissions, for in them their sin began??We have forsaken our God,? and their commissions??We... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Judges 10:10

And the children of Israel cried unto the Lord ,.... In this their distress, seeing nothing but ruin and destruction before their eyes, their land being invaded by such powerful enemies in different quarters; this opened their eyes to a sense of their sins, the cause of it, and brought them to a confession of them: saying, we have sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken our God, and also served Baalim ; had been guilty not only of sins of omission, neglecting the pure of God,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Judges 10:11

And the Lord said unto the children of Israel ,.... By a prophet he sent unto them, as Kimchi and Abarbinel, see Judges 6:8 , whom Ben Gersom takes to be Phinehas, but he could not be living at this time; or by an angel, a created one, sent on this occasion; or the uncreated one, the Son and Word of God, who might appear in an human form, and to whom all that is here said is applicable: did not I deliver you from the Egyptians ; by bringing them out of subjection and bondage to them,... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Judges 10:11

(See the marginal references). The Israelites were delivered from the “Egyptians” at the Exodus; from the “Amorites” in the victories over Sihon, and Og, and the five kings of the Amorites Joshua 10:5; from the “children of Ammon” by Ehud; and from the “Philistines,” by the hand of Shamgar (compare 1 Samuel 12:9). read more

Joseph Benson

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Judges 10:10

Judges 10:10. We have forsaken our God, and also served Baalim Not contented to add idols to thee, we have preferred them before thee. All the rest of the pagan gods, mentioned Judges 10:6, are here comprehended under the name of Baalim. They were so many and various, that they had entirely alienated the affections of the Israelites from their own, that is, the true God, as they now acknowledge in a penitential strain. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Judges 10:11

Judges 10:11. The Lord said unto Israel Either by some prophet whom he raised up, and sent for this purpose, or by the high-priest consulting God for them by Urim and Thummim. For we find that the Israelites, notwithstanding their idolatries, when they were sorely afflicted, bethought themselves of repairing to the tabernacle, and asking counsel of the Lord. Did not I deliver you from the Amorites? Both Sihon and Og, and their people, and other kings of the Amorites. From the children of... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Judges 10:1-18

Jephthah and five other judges (10:1-12:15)Little is known of the political or military activities of the judges Tola and Jair. They both exercised power for lengthy periods, and Jair’s family certainly enjoyed considerable power and prestige among the East Jordan tribes (10:1-5).Again the Israelites turned away from Yahweh and worshipped false gods, and again they were punished. The Ammonites conquered the eastern tribes, crossed Jordan, and seized large portions of Israelite territory in... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Judges 10:10

ISRAEL'S REPENTANCE AND GOD'S MERCY (Judges 10:10-16)"And the children of Israel cried unto Jehovah, saying, We have sinned against thee, even because we have forsaken our God, and served the Baalim. And Jehovah said unto the children of Israel, Did not I save you from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines? The Sidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites, did oppress you; and ye cried unto me, and I saved you out of their hand. Yet... read more
