士師記 2:1-4 JCB

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Judges 2:1

Judges 2:1. An angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal This, no doubt, was the Angel of the covenant, the same divine being that appeared to Joshua near Jericho, Joshua 5:13-14; to whom the conduct of Israel out of Egypt into Canaan, and their conquests and success there, are frequently ascribed. He alone could speak the following words in his own name and person; whereas created angels and prophets universally usher in their message with, Thus saith the Lord, or some equivalent expression.... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Judges 2:2-5

Judges 2:2-5. Ye shall make no league, &c. These express and frequently-repeated commands of God they had disobeyed. Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out, &c. That is, I have now taken up this peremptory resolution. They shall be as thorns in your sides, &c. This signifies what they were assuredly to expect in breaking the covenant on their part; and the sentence here pronounced, or prediction uttered, soon began to take effect and be accomplished. The people... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Judges 2:1-10

Results of Israel’s failure (2:1-10)In bringing Israel into Canaan, God was faithful to his covenant promises. The Israelites, however, were not faithful to theirs. Therefore, just as Israel was once God’s instrument to punish the Canaanites, so now the Canaanites would be God’s instrument to punish Israel (2:1-5). After the death of Joshua and the godly leaders whom he had trained, the Israelites turned away from God. In so doing they brought Israel into an extended period of suffering and... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Judges 2:1

ISRAEL GETS THE BAD NEWS AT BOCHIMThis chapter and through Judges 3:6 are a continuation of the preface of Judges, and as Keil observed, all of this material may be considered as an absolute unity with the rest of the Book of Judges. There is no Deuteronomic introduction interpolated here into the main text! "The arguments against the unity of authorship in all three parts, the preface, the body of the work, and the appendices, will NOT bear examination."[1]THE ANGEL OF JEHOVAH SPEAKS TO ISRAEL... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Judges 2:1

CHAP. II. Joshua being dead, the Israelites revolt to strange gods: are oppressed by the Canaanites, and weep, being rebuked by an angel: God afterwards sendeth them judges, who subdue the Canaanites; but after their death the Israelites return to their wickedness, and are punished. Before Christ 1432. Judges 2:1. And an angel of the Lord— This should be rendered, and the angel of the Lord; for it is plain beyond all controversy, from the context, that this angel was the great messenger of the... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Judges 2:1

1-3. an angel . . . came from Gilgal to Bochim—We are inclined to think, from the authoritative tone of his language, that he was the Angel of the Covenant (Exodus 23:20; Joshua 5:14); the same who appeared in human form and announced himself captain of the Lord's host. His coming from Gilgal had a peculiar significance, for there the Israelites made a solemn dedication of themselves to God on their entrance into the promised land [Joshua 5:14- :]; and the memory of that religious engagement,... read more
