F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Judges 12:1-15

at the Fords of Ephraim Judges 12:1-15 In this second war, Jephthah showed the same conciliatory spirit as he had showed to Ammon. He parleyed sensibly and courteously before he went into the conflict. A great many Christians are less Christian than this. They ignore Christ’s strict injunction, Matthew 18:15 . Ephraim had acted in the same manner to Gideon, Judges 8:1 . In each case that tribe wanted to retain its primacy without the sacrifice which leadership involves; and it was angry when... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Judges 12:1-15

The men of Ephraim took the same action in the case of Jephthah as they had done in the case of Gideon. After his victory they complained that they had not been called to help. It would seem as though they had become more arrogant as the result of Gideon's conciliatory method with them, for this time they came with the deliberate purpose of war. In Jephthah they found a man of another mold. He did not attempt to conciliate but visited them with the most severe punishment. Two things combined... read more

‘ And after him Abdon the son of Hillel, the Pirathonite, judged Israel.’ “The Pirathonite.” So called from Pirathon, where he was born, and which was in the tribe of Ephraim, as appears from Judges 12:15. It was also later the home of Benaiah, David’s captain (2 Samuel 23:30). read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 12:14

Judges 12:14 a ‘And he had forty sons, and thirty grandsons, who rode on seventy ass colts.’ He had an abundant family, described in this way to bring to the number seventy, divine perfection intensified. Compare Gideon (Judges 8:30). The fact that they rode on ass colts demonstrates that they exercised authority. Judges 12:14 b ‘And he judged Israel eight years.’ He clearly began to judge while quite old to have so many grandsons. These judges may have been partly contemporary. He too had the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 12:15

‘ And Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died, and was buried at Pirathon, in the land of Ephraim, in the hill country of the Amalekites.’ Here was another Pirathonite who lived and died in honour and was gathered to his fathers. The ‘hill country of the Amalekites’ may have commemorated a great battle with the Amalekites, or have been their former dwelling place, or there may even have been a small group who dwelt there. read more
