F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Judges 10:1-16

Inveterate Idolatry Judges 10:1-16 The scene is now removed to the tribes across the Jordan, especially those settled, in Gilead and its vicinity. The children of Ammon were the aggressors, and acquired such boldness as even to cross the Jordan and fight against Judah and Ephraim. “Israel was sore distressed.” Almost spontaneously we say, “Surely it served them right.” It seems incredible that, after all they had suffered on account of their idolatry, they should again relapse to Baal, and... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Judges 10:1-18

Following the death of Abimelech there seems to have been a period of forty years' quietness under the dictatorship of Tola and Jair. After this there appears to have broken out a period characterized by an almost utter abandonment of the people to idolatry. The list of the forms which this idolatry took is appalling. Judgment came this time through the Philistines and the men of Ammon and continued for eighteen years. At last, sore distressed, they cried to God, and for the first time in... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 10:11

Judges 10:11 a ‘And Yahweh said to the children of Israel.’ An unusual use in the predicate of ‘the children of Israel’ used only when covenant matters were very much in mind. Here they had sought to renew the covenant, but Yahweh’s reply was to be stern. He probably spoke through a prophet. Judges 10:11-12 “Did I not deliver you from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines?” The Hebrew is difficult here but the sense is clear. Yahweh reminded... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 10:6-18

Judges 10:6-Job : . Introduction to the Story of Jephthah.— In this section we see the hand of D, and hear the recurrent notes of sin, suffering, repentance, and deliverance. Judges 10:7 . The reference to the Philistines seems to be out of place, unless the section is meant to serve as an introduction to Samson’ s as well as Jephthah’ s exploits. Judges 10:8 . Text faulty: “ eighteen years” should probably stand at the end of Judges 10:7, and Judges 10:8 should perhaps read “ and they vexed... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Judges 10:11

The Lord said; either by himself, the Son of God appearing in a visible shape, which then was usual; or by some prophet whom he raised and sent to this purpose; or by the high priest, who was consulted in the case. The Amorites; both Sihon and Og, and their people, Numbers 21:0, and other kings of the Amorites within Jordan, Joshua 10:5. The children of Ammon were confederate with the Moabites, Judges 3:13,Judges 3:14. The Philistines. See Judges 3:31. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Judges 10:1-18

FORTY-FIVE YEARS PASSED OVER IN SILENCE(Judges 10:1-5.)CRITICAL NOTES.— Judges 10:1. After Abimelech.] This man is recognised as having been a ruler in Israel, notwithstanding his scandalous career. Probably he was permitted to occupy this position for a time, as a new method of chastising the people for their extreme tendency to choose another king than Jehovah, and to show that “their sorrows should be multiplied that hasten after another god.” The rigorous rule of the bramble-bush sovereign... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Judges 10:1-18

Chapter 10Now in chapter ten we go through a series of judges quite rapidly.After Abimelech there rose to defend Israel Tola, a man of Issachar; [from the tribe of Issachar] he dwelt in Shamir in mount Ephraim. He judged Israel for twenty-three years, he was buried in Shamir. And after him there arose Jair, a Gileadite, and he judged Israel for twenty-two years. Now he had thirty sons that rode on thirty ass colts, and they had thirty cities, which are called Havothjair unto this day, which are... read more

Did not I deliver you from the Egyptians? ] They instance their sins, and God’s benefits - teaching us to keep catalogues - for an aggravation of their sins. See Deu 32:5-6 Ezra 9:13-14 . There is here an angry aposiopesis; for these words, "I deliver you," are not in the original. Those that are angry use... read more
