F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Judges 3:15-31

the “Message from God” Judges 3:15-31 The sword is usually worn at the left hand, and Ehud escaped suspicion because his was girded under his raiment on his right thigh. Eglon was also the more ready to listen to him and give a secret audience, because he had just received a tribute from Ehud’s hand. It was a terrible deed of vengeance, which must not be judged by our ethical standards. But can we not understand how the hatred of a downtrodden and high-spirited race would express itself in... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Judges 3:1-31

God left certain nations, a company of stem, implacable enemies, in order to prove Israel. The overruling of God is set forth remarkably in this declaration. The people who had refused to cast out the enemies were now to be taught by long-continued conflict with them the lessons of vital importance to their fulfillment of divine purpose. In what remains of this chapter, the first two movements of failure, punishment, and deliverance are recorded. The first of these occupies verses seven to... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 3:23

‘ Then Ehud went out into the vestibule and shut the doors of the parlour on him, and locked them.’ The word for vestibule is otherwise unknown and its meaning not certain. But the import is clear, he was able to leave and lock the door behind him. Wooden keys for crude locking devices are well known. The key would be a flat piece of wood furnished with pins which corresponded to holes in a hollow bolt. The bolt was on the inside and would be shot into a socket in the doorpost, and would be... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 3:12-30

Judges 3:12-Amos : . Ehud, the Benjamite.— D’ s setting of the story of Ehud is apparent in Judges 3:12-Ezra : a and Judges 3:30. The story itself is a genuine folk-tale, handed down from century to century before being committed to writing. One can readily imagine with what zest it was told in the tribe of Benjamin, where the left-handed Ehud was a popular hero. On the moral question raised by his conduct, the facts at our disposal do not enable us to pronounce with confidence. To our minds... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Judges 3:23

Ehud went forth, with a composed countenance and gait, without any fear; being well assured that God, who by his extraordinary call had put him upon that enterprise, would by his special providence preserve him, and carry him through it. Upon him; either upon the king, or upon or after himself. Locked them; either by pulling it close after him, as we do when doors have spring-locks; or by taking the key with him for more caution; and this he did, that they supposing the king to be retired,... read more

ADDED SIN, RENEWED CHASTISEMENT, AND GRACIOUS DELIVERANCE. Judges 3:12-30CRITICAL NOTES.— Judges 3:12. Did evil again in sight of the Lord.] The word הָרַע or רָעָה from רוּעַ is used the same both here and in Judges 3:7 to signify evil; but whereas in Judges 3:7 we have the verb יּעֲשׂוּ, meaning simply did, or wrought, in Judges 3:12 we have יֹּספוּ, meaning added to former sin (see also Judges 4:1; Judges 10:6; Judges 13:1), or continued to do evil. God does not forget to count the old sin,... read more

Judges 3:7 . The children of Israel served Baalim and the groves. So is the French. אשׁרות asheroth; rendered by the Chaldaic and the Latin versions, lucis, light.

Judges 3:12-30The Lord strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel.Sin--suffering; penitence and deliverance repeatedI. New sin added: “Again”1. A painful surprise.2. Deeper guilt. It showed more deliberation in the act of rebellion, more stubborness of will, and greater defiance of the Divine authority. It also implied the heavy guilt of despising all the argument involved in the close and faithful dealing God had with them, in the terrible chastisements He had already brought down on... read more
