士師記 1:27-30 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Judges 1:21-36

We are here told upon what terms the rest of the tribes stood with the Canaanites that remained. I. Benjamin neglected to drive the Jebusites out of that part of the city of Jerusalem which fell to their lot, Jdg. 1:21. Judah had set them a good example, and gained them great advantages by what they did (Jdg. 1:9), but they did not follow the blow for want of resolution. II. The house of Joseph, 1. Bestirred themselves a little to get possession of Beth-el, Jdg. 1:22. That city is mentioned in... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Judges 1:27

Neither did Manasseh ,.... One of the sons of Joseph before mentioned; and it respects that half tribe of Manasseh, which had its portion on this side Jordan in the land of Canaan: these did not drive out the inhabitants of Bethshean and her towns, nor Taanach and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns : all which were places the half tribe had assigned them in Issachar and Asher; of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Judges 1:28

And it came to pass, when Israel was strong ,.... All the tribes of Israel were become numerous, and able to drive the Canaanites out of the land everywhere, and particularly were able to assist Manasseh in expelling the Canaanites out of the above places, yet they did not; but all they did was: that they put the Canaanites to tribute, and did not utterly drive them out ; which flowed from covetousness, and a love of ease; they did not care to be at the trouble of expelling them, as they... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Judges 1:29

Neither did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer ,.... Not so much as made them tributaries, but made a covenant with them, it is probable, contrary to the express will of God: but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them ; the Ephraimites agreeing to it, and here they dwelt to the times of Solomon; See Gill on Joshua 16:10 ; where indeed they are said to be under tribute; but that seems to respect some later time, and not when they were first admitted to dwell among... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Judges 1:30

Neither did Zebulun drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol ,.... The first of these seems to be the same with Kattah or Kartah, and the latter with Nahalal, both cities given to the Levites, Joshua 19:15 ; which perhaps was the reason of their sloth in driving them out; though it aggravated their sin not to take care to rid those cities of the Canaanites, which were given to religious persons: but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became tributaries ;... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Judges 1:27

Judges 1:27. Neither did Manasseh, &c. That is, that half of this tribe which dwelt in Canaan. Beth-shean A place near Jordan, Joshua 17:11. Taanach Of which see Joshua 12:21. Dor A great town, with large territories, Joshua 11:2; Joshua 12:23. Megiddo A royal city, Joshua 12:21; Joshua 17:11. But the Canaanites would dwell in the land Namely, by force or agreement. So that it appears, although, during the life of Joshua, the Israelites had conducted themselves with a great... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Judges 1:28

Judges 1:28. When Israel was strong they put the Canaanites to tribute Herein they violated the law, whereby they were enjoined to destroy or expel that people when they were able. And as they were strong enough to impose tribute on them, they undoubtedly might have driven them entirely out of the land. But it cost them less trouble, and brought them more profit, to make them tributaries, than to expel them; and therefore they preferred it, being influenced by sloth and covetousness. And... read more
