Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Judges 2:11

In the sight of the Lord; which notes the heinousness and the impudence of their sins above other people’s sins; because God’s presence was with them, and his eye upon them, in a peculiar manner, and he did narrowly observe all their actions, which also they were not ignorant of, and therefore were guilty of more contempt of God than other people.

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Judges 2:11-16

CRITICAL NOTES.—Judges 2:11. And served Baalim.] The pl. form indicates the different Baalim, or the different characters and modifications under which Baal, the sun-god, was worshipped, rather than the different images of Baal. The singular, Baal = “lord.” principally in the sense of owner and possessor. “When the worshippers wished to express a particular Baal they generally added some particular epithet, as Baal-zephon, Baal-peor, Baal-zebub, Baal-shamayim, &c. The two former were adored... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Judges 2:1-23

Judges 1:0 and 2 The character of Joshua is, like that of many soldiers, simple and easily understood. He was strong and of a good courage, a man, fit not only for battle, but for tedious campaigning; full of resources, and able to keep up the heart of a whole people by his hopeful bearing. It was one of the most difficult of tasks which was entrusted to Joshua. He was to lead the people through a series of the most brilliant and exciting military successes, and then to turn them to the most... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Judges 2:1-23

Chapter 2So in chapter two we read,AND the angel of the LORD came from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and brought you into the land which I sware to your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you. And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of the land; ye shall throw down their altars: but you have not obeyed my voice: why have you done this? Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Judges 2:1-23

Judges 2:1 . An Angel of the Lord. Jewish writers in succession speak of this as a created angel: but no mere angel would dare to speak as Jehovah. It was therefore the Angel of the covenant, the same that had appeared to Moses and to Joshua. Exodus 3:2; Exodus 3:6. Joshua 5:13; Joshua 5:15. So the fathers with one consent expound his appearance at the bush, and on other occasions. This Angel was an ever-living Angel, clothed with omnipotence, and saying, “I will no more drive out these... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Judges 2:11-15

Judges 2:11-15They forsook the Lord God of their fathers.Israel’s obstinacy and God’s patienceThis passage sums up the Book of Judges, and also the history of Israel for over four hundred years. Like the overture of an oratorio, it sounds the main themes of the story which follows. That story has four chapters, repeated with dreary monotony over and over again. They are: Relapse into idolatry, retribution, respite and deliverance, and brief return to God. The last of these phases soon passes... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Judges 2:11

Jdg 2:11 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim: Ver. 11. And served Baalim, ] i.e., Lords. Hence Hannibal, Asdrubal, &c., of old; as now among the Turks, Beglerbeg, Scanderbeg, that is, Lord Alexander. Their idols they called their lords or protectors; and so the devil became their good lord, as they say: for he is ειδωλοχαρης , the author of idolatry, that evil as it is here called κατ αντονομασιαν . read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 2:6-23

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE TIMES OF THE JUDGES, Judges 2:6-23. This section, containing a general account of the period of the Judges, is naturally introduced by a connexion with the account of Joshua’s last labours and death, as recorded in Joshua 24:28-31. This introductory passage serves to show that while Joshua lived, and for some time after, the nation deserved no such rebuke as the Angel gave at Bochim, and hence this passage cannot be a direct continuation, chronologically, of the... read more
