Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 13:12-18

Judgment On The City That Rebels (Deuteronomy 13:12-17 ). The same was to be true for any city in Israel that turned after idolatry. It must not be tolerated. But note the extensiveness of the enquiry that should be made first. This was no place for hasty judgments. ‘Enquire -- search -- ask diligently.’ It must not be done on the basis of a rumour, but only after intensive investigation. The same principle no doubt applied to the previous examples. And no gain was to be made by anyone from... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 13:1-18

Deuteronomy 12:29 to Deuteronomy 13:1 . Yahwism must be kept free from all taint of Canaanite heathenism when Israel has entered Canaan.

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 13:15

The inhabitants of that city, to wit, all that are guilty, not the innocent part, such as disowned this apostacy, who doubtless by choice and interest, at least upon warning, would come out of so wicked and cursed a place. Destroying it utterly; the very same punishment which was inflicted upon the cities of the cursed Canaanites, to whom having made themselves equal in sin, it is but fit and just that God should equal them in punishment. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Deuteronomy 13:1-18

CRITICAL NOTES.—The true modes and forms of worship have been laid down, the next step is to legislate against the authors and abettors of false ones. Such tempters are not to be spared, even though (Deuteronomy 13:1-5) their teaching be confirmed by miracles; or (Deuteronomy 13:6-12) be nearly allied by kindred or friendship; or (Deuteronomy 13:12-18) be supported in their apostacy by a whole city.—Speak.

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 13:1-18

Chapter 13Now in chapter thirteen, the warning against false prophets. If a man comes in and does some kind of a sign or a wonder and he's a dreamer of dreams or a prophet and he gives some kind of a sign and it comes to pass; but if that man would then lead you to worship other gods you are to put him to death, even though he may have been able to work some miracle.Now, let me say that there is a strange fascination that we seem to have towards supernatural things, but this can be a dangerous... read more
