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 2:6-10

Judges 2:6-10The people served the Lord all the days of Joshua.Joshua and “another generation”I. The power of a great man to adapt himself to changing circumstances, and to be equally great under varying conditions. Many a man great in conquest is a nonentity in peaceful times. The great warrior does not always make a great statesman. Joshua, on the contrary, was the moral ruler of the nation in peace as well as the military commander of the army in war. The Romans are said to have conquered... 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

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 2:10

10. Another generation… which knew not the Lord That is, had no experience of his miracles, no proper respect for his law, nor love for his person and service. The new generation, by their indifference and indisposition to the effort requisite to sift testimony and apply its full force to their minds, wherein was their peculiar probation, fell into a culpable unbelief. The transition from that low faith grounded on the senses, to that higher faith grounded on testimony, is always a... read more
