Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Judges 3:1-31

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.
