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

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

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Judges 10:8

Judges 10:8. And that year they vexed, &c.— Houbigant renders this, therefore at that time the children of Ammon afflicted and oppressed the children of Israel eighteen years, namely, all those who dwelt on the other side. REFLECTIONS.—One tumultuous reign we have had, which needed two peaceable ones to repair its desolations. 1. Tola, of the tribe of Issachar, succeeded Abimelech; not an usurping king, but raised up of God to be a righteous judge, to reform their abuses, decide their... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Judges 10:7

7. Philistines, and . . . the children of Ammon—The predatory incursions of these two hostile neighbors were made naturally on the parts of the land respectively contiguous to them. But the Ammonites, animated with the spirit of conquest, carried their arms across the Jordan; so that the central and southern provinces of Canaan were extensively desolated. :-. THEY CRY TO GOD. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Judges 10:10

10. The children of Israel cried unto the Lord, saying, We have sinned against thee—The first step of repentance is confession of sin, and the best proof of its sincerity is given by the transgressor, when he mourns not only over the painful consequences which have resulted from his offenses to himself, but over the heinous evil committed against God. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Judges 10:6-7

1. Renewed oppression 10:6-7The Israelites’ return to apostasy brought discipline from two different directions at the same time. In the east the Ammonites oppressed Israel, while in the west God raised up the Philistines."The acuter [sic] pressure at this stage came from the Ammonites who were crueller [sic] in nature and more predatory in their methods than the Philistines (cf. 1 Samuel 11:1-2)." [Note: Cundall and Morris, pp. 138-39.] These verses really introduce the judgeships of Jephthah,... read more
