Sermon Bible Commentary - Judges 1:1-36

Judges 1:0 and Judges 2:0 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... read more

Judges 1:1-10The children of Israel asked the Lord.Simplicity in prayerJust that! How we have modernised and complicated and destroyed prayer! “The children of Israel asked the Lord.” How simple, how direct, how sensible, how likely to succeed! The altar may have lost its power: no atheist has pulled down the altar, no outsider has taken away one stone from the holy pile; the suppliants may have torn down their own altar. We will modernise and invent and enlarge and embroider the simplicity... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 1:10-15

CONQUEST OF HEBRON, AND EXPLOIT AND REWARD OF OTHNIEL, Judges 1:10-15. This passage is nearly identical with Joshua 15:14-19. It may have been copied from the Book of Joshua, or from some older work. See the notes on the passage in Joshua. It is characteristic of the Hebrew historians to interweave such episodes as this and the following one about the Kenites into a narrative which touches persons or places with which they were associated. The date of this conquest of Hebron and Debir is... read more
