Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Deuteronomy 25:17-19

Deuteronomy 25:17-19. AMALEK TO BE EXTERMINATED.At the end of all the precepts of humanity, the extermination of that people which is presented to us as the incarnation of inhumanity is decreed.(18) He . . . smote the hindmost . . .—These details are not given in Exodus 17:0. Amalek’s attack follows the appearance of the stream of water from Horeb. There was nothing more natural than that the faint and weary should stay behind at the water side. There the Amalekites appear to have found them... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 25:1-19

JUSTICE TEMPERED WITH MERCY (vs.1-3) In the law courts the judges must mete out proper justice, yet not to exceed the limits of justice. If one was guilty of serious crime, it was right to have him beaten, lying down. But never was he to receive more than forty strokes. Paul writes in2 Corinthians 11:24; 2 Corinthians 11:24, "From the Jews five times I received forty stripes minus one." The Jews at least respected this particular law, for they lessened the number to 39 in case they had... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 25:1-19

MORE REGULATIONS PUBLIC PRIVILEGES (Deuteronomy 23:1-9 ) The privileges referred to here are doubtless honors in the state and perhaps, in the case of foreigners, incorporation with Israel by marriage. Eunuchs and bastards were denied these privileges (Deuteronomy 23:1-2 ), and also members of what Gentile nations (Deuteronomy 23:3 )? What caused the latter prohibition (Deuteronomy 23:4-6 )? Such passages as Nehemiah 13:1 ; Ruth 4:10 ; and 2 Kings 10:2 show that there were some exceptions... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 25:17-19

This short account of Amalek, and the punishment of that people, comes in very properly upon the close of the foregoing precepts; for it was both a just weight and just measure, that Israel should requite Amalek, for his conduct towards them on their first coming out of Egypt. Exodus 17:14-16 . It is worthy remark, how Saul offended the LORD, at least four hundred years after this appointment, in not fully following up the precept: see 1 Samuel 15:2-9 . But, I would have the Reader look a... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 25:17

Amalec. This order for destroying the Amalecites, in the mystical sense, sheweth how hateful they are to God, and what punishments they are to look for from his justice, who attack and discourage his servants when they are but just come out, as it were, of the Egypt of this wicked world, and being yet weak and faint-hearted, are but beginning their journey to the land of promise. read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 25:17-19

17-19 Let every persecutor and injurer of God's people take warning from the case of the Amalekites. The longer it is before judgement comes, the more dreadful will it be at last. Amalek may remind us of the foes of our souls. May we be enabled to slay all our lusts, all the corruptions both within and without, all the powers of darkness and of the world, which oppose our way to the blessed Saviour. read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Deuteronomy 25:11-19

Correct Weights and Measures v. 11. when men strive together one with another, become engaged in fisticuffs, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets, v. 12. then thou, the constituted authority, shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her. This precept was here inserted in order to guard against a false freedom and familiarity of the female sex toward those of... read more
