Othniel takes Kirjath-sepher, and wins Achsah, the daughter of CalebJudges 1:11-1511And from thence he [i.e. Judah] went against the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before was Kirjath-sepher: 12And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife. 13And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife. 14And it came to pass, when she came to him [at her coming; scil. to her... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Judges 1:1-15

Renewing the Conquest Judges 1:1-15 The land had been given. There could be no doubt about that. In the ancient covenant which Jehovah had made with Abram, He said: “Unto thy seed have I given this land.” See Genesis 15:18 . It had also been conquered and divided by lot, as we learn in Joshua 14:1-5 . The portion of Judah is specified in Joshua 15:1-63 . But notwithstanding all, each tribe had to possess its own, first by the sword, and ultimately by the plow and the spade. It is not enough... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Judges 1:1-36

The Book of Judges covers historically a period from the death of Joshua to the judgeship of Samuel and the introduction of the monarchy. It opens with a description of the general condition of affairs at the close of the period of Joshua's leadership. He had led the people into possession of the land but had left them with much to be done ere its final subjugation. Their fist act was to seek to know the will of God as to who should commence this final work of conquest. Judah, the kingly... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Judges 1:1-25

Jude's Certain Men The Book of Jude INTRODUCTORY WORDS The statement, "Thy testimonies are wonderful" is nowhere more strikingly true than in the Book of Jude. No photographer ever made a better likeness and no scientist with his X-ray ever made a truer photograph than the Book of Jude makes concerning "Certain Men." Jude is in reality a preface to the Book of Revelation. Jude is apostate Christendom manifested; Revelation is apostate Christendom judged. Jude describes conditions preceding... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 1:14-15

‘ And it happened that when she came to him, she moved him to ask of her father a field, and she lighted from her ass, and Caleb said to her, “What is it you want?” And she said to him, “Give me a blessing, for you have set me in the land of the South. Give me also springs of water.” And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the nether springs.’ The dowry Othniel requested, at her suggestion, was land, and when his wife discovered where this was, in the South, she approached her father to... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 1:1-21

Judges 1:1 to Judges 2:5 . The Conquests and Settlements of the Israelites in Western Palestine.— From this introduction, which is one of the most valuable parts of early Hebrew history, we learn that the various tribes invaded the land either singly or in small groups; that they had failures as well as successes; that in many instances they did not destroy the older population, but settled peacefully among them; and that, in particular, the larger cities of Canaan, as well as the fertile... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Judges 1:5-16

CRITICAL NOTES.—Judges 1:8. Now the children of Judah had fought, &c.] Heb. = “fought,” the pluperfect form not being given in the original. Still, the sense is, “they formerly fought,” “they had fought.” A similar use of the past for the pluperfect has been noticed under Joshua 8:12. For the time when Judah had fought against Jerusalem we may refer to Joshua 12:8; Joshua 12:10, when, though the king was slain, the strongholds of the city were not fully possessed (Joshua 15:63). As Mr.... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Judges 1:1-36

Judges 1:0 and Judges 2:0 The character of Joshua is, like that of many soldiers, simple and easily understood. He was strong and of a good courage, a man, fit not only for battle, but for tedious campaigning; full of resources, and able to keep up the heart of a whole people by his hopeful bearing. It was one of the most difficult of tasks which was entrusted to Joshua. He was to lead the people through a series of the most brilliant and exciting military successes, and then to turn them to... read more
