* their thumbs. Heb. the thumbs of their hands and of their
feet.
This was not an unusual act of cruelty in ancient times
towards enemies.--(926c)ian informs us, that in after ages "the
Athenians, at the instigation of Cleon, son of Cleoenetus,
made a decree that all the inhabitants of the island of (9267)ina
should have the thumb cut off from the right hand, so that
they might ever after be disabled from holding a spear, yet
might handle an oar." It was a custom among those Romans who
did not like a military life, to cut off their thumbs, that
they might be incapable of serving in the army; and for the
same reason, parents sometimes cut off the thumbs of their
children.

In ancient times fathers assumed an absolute right over their

in marriage to him who should take a city, etc.

* Also Judah.
There is the following remarkable variation here in the
Septuagint: [Kai ouk ekl(8272)onom(8273)en Ioudas t(826e) Gazan, oude ta
horia aut(8273); oude t(826e) Askal▋a, oude ta horia aut(8273); kai t(826e)
Akkar▋, oude ta horia aut(8273); t(826e) Az┤on, oude ta perisporia
aut(8273).] "But Judah did not possess Gaza, nor the coasts
thereof; nor Askelon, nor the coasts thereof; nor Ekron, nor
the coasts thereof; nor Ashdod, nor the coasts thereof."
Procopius and Augustine read the same; and Josephus (Ant. 1.
v. c. 2) says that the Israelites only took Askelon and
Ashdod, but not Gaza or Ekron; and from ch. 3:3, and the whole
succeeding history, it appears that these cities were not in
the possession of the Israelites, but of the Philistines.

extraordinary occasions, who directed and ruled the nation
with sovereign power, administered justice, made peace or war,
and led the armies over whom they presided. Officers with the
same power, and nearly the same name, were established in New
Tyre, after the termination of the regal state; and the
Carthaginian Suffetes, the Athenian Archons, and the Roman
Dictators, appear to have been nearly the same.

This Hebrew phrase intimates that, either through disease or
disuse, he made little or no use of the right hand, but of his
left only, and so was the less fit for war, because he would
most likely wield a dagger awkwardly: yet God chose this
left-handed man to be the minister of his retributive justice.
It was God's right hand that gained Israel the victory,
Ps 44:3; not the right hand of the instruments he employed.

The {(836c)eeyah,} or upper chamber, seems to have been of the
same description as the {ol(8961)h} of the Arabs, but properly
ventilated, described by Dr. Shaw, who says, that to most of
their houses there is a smaller one annexed, which sometimes
rises one story higher than the house; at other times, it
consists of one or two rooms only, and a terrace; while others
that are built, as they frequently are, over the porch or
gateway, have, if we except the ground floor, which they want,
all the conveniences that belong to the house itself. There
is a door of communication from them into the gallery of the
house; besides another, which opens immediately from a private
staircase, down into the porch or street, without giving the
least disturbance to the house. In these back houses
strangers are usually lodged and entertained; and to them
likewise the men are wont to retire from the noise and hurry
of their families, to be more at leisure for mediation or
diversions.

This implement, Mr. Maundrell informs us, in Palestine and

"found them about eight feet long; and at the bigger end about
six inches in circumference. They were armed at the lesser
end with a sharp prickle for driving the oxen; and at the
other end with a small paddle of iron, strong and massive, for
cleansing the plough from the clay. In the hand of a powerful
man such an instrument must be more dangerous and fatal than a
sword."

Mount Tabor, called by the Arabs Djebel Tour, is almost
entirely insulated, and rises up in the plain of Esdraelon,
about six miles from Nazareth, in a conical form, somewhat
like a sugar-loaf. Josephus states its height to be thirty
stadia, with a plain of 26; stadia in circumference on its top,
on which was formerly a city, which was used as a military
post. It is described as an exceedingly beautiful mountain,
having a rich soil, producing excellent herbage, and adorned
with groves and clumps of trees.

This verse briefly recites the subject of this inspired song,
which consists of eight stanzas: The first opens with a
devout thanksgiving. The second describes the magnificent
scenes at Mount Sinai, etc. The third states the apostasy and
consequent punishment of the Israelites. The fourth contrasts
their present happy state. The fifth censures the recreant
tribes of Reuben, Gad, etc. The sixth records the defeat of
the confederate kings of Canaan. The seventh contains a
panegyric on Jael. And the eight describes the fond
anticipations and disappointment of the mother of Sisera.

Anciently, horses were not shod; nor are they at the present
day in some parts of the East. The flight was so rapid that
the hoofs of their horses were splintered and broken by the
roughness of the roads; in consequence of which they became
lame, and could not carry off their riders.

Or, as Dr. Waterland renders, "mighty horses," or "strong
steeds," as Dr. Kennicott, i.e., their war-horses, which gives
great energy to the text, and renders it perfectly
intelligible.

from it; but probably, after the angel of the Lord had
pronounced this curse, it dwindled and like the fig-tree which
Christ cursed, withered away; so that we never read of it
after this in Scripture.

The victory here celebrated in this song, was of such happy
consequence to Israel, that for the principal part of one age,
they enjoyed the peace to which it had been the means of
opening the way. The land had rest forty years, that is, so
long it was from this victory to the raising up of Gideon.
And well would it have been for the Israelites, if while the
tribes had rest, they had taken advantage of the cessation
from war, and had walked in the fear of the Lord.

which were formerly the lonesome retreats of the distressed
Israelites.

Dr. Shaw observes, "Besides a bowl of milk, and a basket of
figs, raisins, or dates, which upon our arrival were presented
to us, to stay our appetite, the master of the tent fetched us
from his flock, according to the number of our company, a kid
or a goat, a lamb or a sheep; half of which was immediately
seethed by his wife, and served up with {cucasoe;} the rest
was made {kab-ab,} i.e., cut to pieces and roasted, which we
reserved for our breakfast or dinner next day." May we not
suppose, says Mr. Harmer, that Gideon presented some slight
refreshment to the supposed prophet, according to the present
Arab mode, and desired him to stay till he could provide
something more substantial; that he immediately killed a kid,
seethed a part of it, and when ready brought the stewed meat
in a pot, with unleavened cakes of bread, which he had baked;
and the other part, the {kab-ab,} in a basket for him to carry
with him, for some after repast in his journey?

Jerombalus, a priest of Jeuo or Jao.

Gideon was certainly not at mount Gilead, east of Jordan at
this time; but rather near mount Gilboa, west of Jordan.
Calmet thinks there must either have been two Gileads, which
does not appear from Scripture to have been the case, or that
the Hebrew text is corrupt, and that for Gilead we should read
Gilboa. This reading, though adopted by Houbigant, is not
confirmed by an MS. or version. Dr. Hales endeavours to
reconcile the whole, by the supposition that in Gideon's army
there were many eastern Manassites from mount Gilead, near the
Midianites; and therefore proposes to read, "Whosoever from
mount Gilead is fearful and afraid, let him return (home) and
depart early."

經文：士師記 7:5-7:5 註釋:
* lappeth.
The original word {yalok,} is precisely the sound which the
dog makes in lapping. It appears that it is not unusual for
the Arabs to drink water out of the palms of their hands; and,
from this account, we learn that the Israelites did so
occasionally. Dr. A. Clarke, in his edition of Harmer, has
presented us with the following curious MS. note from Dr.
Russell. "When they take water with the palms of their hands,
they naturally place themselves on their hams, to be nearer
the water; but when they drink from a pitcher or gourd, fresh
filled, they do not sit down on purpose to drink, but drink
standing, and very often put the sleeve of their shirt over
the mouth of the vessel, by way of strainer, lest small
leeches might have been taken up with the water. For the same
reason they often prefer taking the water with the palm of the
hand to lapping it from the surface." From the letters of
Busbequius we learn, that the Eastern people are not in the
habit of drinking standing. The 300; men, who satisfied their
thirst in the most expeditious manner, by this sufficiently
indicated their spirit, and alacrity to follow Gideon in his
dangerous enterprise; while the rest shewed their love of
ease, self-indulgence, effeminacy, and want of courage.

This small number of men, thus divided, would be able to
encompass the whole camp of the Midianites. Concealing the
lamps in the pitchers, they would pass unobserved to their
appointed stations; then, in the dead of the night, when most
of the enemy were fast asleep, all at once breaking their
pitchers one against another, with as much noise as they
could, and blowing the trumpets and shouting; they would
occasion an exceedingly great alarm. The obedience of faith
alone could have induced such an expedient, which no doubt God
directed Gideon to employ.--Scott.

Among ancient nations, the head of the conquered chief was
usually brought to the conqueror. Thus Pompey's head was
brought to C(9173)ar, Cicero's head to Mark Anthony, and the heads
of Ahab's children to Jehu. These barbarities are seldom
practised now, except among the Mahommedans, or the savages of
Africa and America; and for the credit of human nature, it is
to be wished that such atrocities had never been committed.

經文：士師記 8:10-8:10 註釋:
* Karkor.
If this were the name of a place, it is no where else
mentioned. Some contend that {karkor} signifies rest; and the
Vulgate renders it {requiescebant,} "rested". This seems the
most likely; for it is said (ver. 11) that Gideon "smote the
host: for the host was secure."

the LXX. Syriac, Arabic, and Houbigant.

Instead of {wyyod(832c)} Houbigant, Le Clerc, and others read
{wyyadosh,} "and he tore or threshed;" and this is not only
agreeable to what Gideon threatened (ver. 7), but is supported
by the LXX. Vulgate, Chaldee, Syriac, and Arabic. The Hebrew
text might easily have been corrupted simply by the change of
[Sh(8c79)n,] {shin,} into ['Ayin,] {ayin,} letters very similar to
each other.

Rather, Jerubbaal Gideon; as we say, Simon Peter; or call a
person by his Christian and surname. Gideon was a mighty man
of valour, a true patriot, evidently disinterested and void of
ambition. He loved his country, and hazarded his life for it;
but refused the kingdom, when offered to him and his heirs.
The act of making the ephod was totally wrong; yet, probably
it was done with no reprehensible design.

2Ki 14:9 Eze 17:3-10 Da 4:10-18
* olive tree.
The {zayith,} or olive tree, in the Linnean system, is a genus
of the {diandra monogynia} class of plants. It is of a
moderate height, and grows best in sunny places. Its trunk is
knotty; bark smooth, of an ash colour: wood solid and
yellowish; leaves oblong, almost like those of the willow, of
a dark green colour on the upper side, and whitish below. In
June it puts forth white flowers, growing in bunches, each of
one piece, widening towards the top, and dividing into four
parts. After this succeeds the fruit, which is oblong and
plump; first green, then pale, and when quite ripe, black.
Within it is enclosed a hard stone, filled with oblong seeds.
It was the most useful of all trees in the forest; as the
bramble was the meanest and most worthless.

Probably the Beer mentioned by Mr. Maundrell, three hours and
a half, or about ten miles, north of Jerusalem, towards
Shechem. It is situated toward the south, on an easy
declivity; and has a fountain of excellent water at the bottom
of the hill, from which it has taken its name. Close to the
well are the mouldering walls of a ruined {khan;} and on the
summit of the hill two large arches still remain of a ruined
convent. Dr. Richardson says, that it seems to have been once
a place of considerable consequence.

Sooner or later, God will make inquisition for blood, and will
return it on the heads of those that shed it. Accessaries
will be reckoned with, as well as principals, in that and
other sins. The Shechemites, who countenanced Abimelech's
pretensions, aided and abetted him in his bloody project, and
avowed the fact by making him king after he had done it, must
fall with him, fall by him, and fall first. Those that
combine together to do wickedly, are justly dashed in pieces
one against another. Blood cannot be a lasting cement to any
interest.

Rather, "and I would say to Abimelech," as the LXX. renders;

presence of Abimelech; but at an intemperate feast, in his
absence, when he boasted he would challenge him.

Of this person we know no more than is here recorded. He was
probably one of the descendants of the Canaanites, who hoped,
from the state of the public mind and their disaffection to
Abimelech, to cause a revolution, and thus to restore the
ancient government as it was under Hamor, the father of
Shechem. Josephus says he was a man of authority, who
sojourned with them, with his armed men and kinsmen; and that
the Shechemites desired that he would allow them a guard
during the vintage.

Doubdan states, that in some parts of the Holy Land there are
many detached rocks scattered up and down, some growing out of
the ground, and others fragments broken off from rocky
precipices, the shadow of which, it appears, Josephus thought
might be most naturally imagined to look like troops of men at
a distance, rather than that of the mountains; for he
represents Zebul as saying to Gaal, that he mistook the shadow
of the rocks for men.

* sowed.
Salt in small quantities renders land extremely fertile; but
too much of it destroys vegetation. Every place, says Pliny,
in which salt is found is barren, and produces nothing. Hence
the sowing of a place with salt was a custom in different
nations to express permanent desolation. Sigonius observes,
that when Milan was taken, A.D. 1162, the walls were razed,
and it was sown with salt. And Brantome informs us, that it
was an ancient custom in France, to sow the house of a man
with salt, who had been declared a traitor to his king.
Charles IX., king of France, the most base and perfidious of
human beings, caused the house of Admiral Coligni (whom he and
the Duke of Guise caused to be murdered, with thousands more
of Protestants, on the eve of St. Bartholomew, 1572,) to be
sown with salt!

* and all to.
An antiquated expression, meaning "full intention" to complete
an object. "All to," observes Dr. Johnson, "is a particle of
mere enforcement." The original is {wattaritz eth gulgalto,}
which is simply as the LXX. render [kai eklase to kranion
autou,] "and she brake his skull." Plutarch relates, that
Pyrrhus was killed at the siege of Thebes, by a piece of a
tile, which a woman threw upon his head.

Both the fratricide Abimelech and the unprincipled men of
Shechem had the iniquity visited upon them of which they had
been guilty. Man's judgment may be avoided; but there is no
escape from that of God. How many houses have been sown with
salt in France, by the just judgment of God, for the massacre
of the Protestants on the eve of St. Bartholomew! See Note on
ver. 45.

inhabitants of Maon. (Jos 15:55. 1Sa 23:24, 25; 25:2,) which
assisted Moab.

Not that there is any grief in God; he has infinite joy and
happiness in himself, which cannot be broken in upon by either
the sins or the miseries of his creatures. Not that there is
any change in God; for he is of one mind, and who can turn
him? But his goodness is his glory; by it he proclaims his
name, and magnifies it; and as he is pleased to put himself
into the relation of a father to his people, so he is pleased
to represent his goodness to them by the compassion of a
father to his children; for as he is the Father of lights, so
is he the Father of mercies.

Probably {zonah} should be rendered as in Jos 2:1, a hostess,
or inn-keeper: so Targum of Jonathan, {wehoo bar ittetha
pundekeetha,} "and he was the son of a woman, a
tavern-keeper." She was very probably a Canaanite, as she is
called, ver. 2, a strange woman, {ishah achereth,} "a woman of
another race;" and on this account his brethren drove him from
the family, as not having a full right to the inheritance.

Probably the same as Ish-Tob; and appears to have been a part
of Syria, near Zobah, Rehob, and Maachah, east of Jordan, and
in the most northern part of the portion of Manasseh. If so,
it could not be far from Gilead, the country of Jephthah.

That is, upon his elevation, he immediately retired to his
devotion, and in prayer spread the whole matter before God,
both his choice to the office, and his execution of the
office, as one that had his eye ever toward the Lord, and
would do nothing without him; that leaned not to his own
understanding or courage, but depended on the Almighty God,
and his favour. This is an ensample worthy of universal
imitation; in All Our Ways, whether great or apparently
subordinate, let us acknowledge God and seek his direction.
So shall we make our way prosperous, and obtain that peace
which passeth all understanding. Jephthah opened his campaign
with prayer.

This Mizpeh was east of Jordan in the mountains of Gilead (Ge

distinguish it from another place of the same name, west of
Jordan, in the tribe of Judah.
Jos 15:38

In this Jephthah acted in accordance with the law of Moses;
and hence the justice of his cause would appear more forcibly
to the people.

The whole of these messages shew, Jephthah had well studied
the book of Moses. His arguments also are very clear and
cogent, and his demands reasonable; for he only required that
the Ammonites should cease to harass a people who had neither
injured them, nor intended to do so.

經文：士師記 11:23-11:23 註釋:
Jephthah shews that the Israelites did not take the land of
the Moabites or Ammonites, but that of the Amorites, which
they had conquered from Sihon their king; and although the
Amorites had taken the lands in question from the Ammonites,
yet the title by which Israel held them was good, because they
took them, not from the Ammonites, but from the Amorites.
23
經文：士師記 11:24-11:24 註釋:
* Wilt not thou possess.
This is simply an {argumentum ad hominem;} in which Jephthah
argues on this principles recognized by the king of Ammon. As
if he had said, "You suppose that the land which you possess
was given you by your god Chemosh; and therefore will not
relinquish what you believe you hold by a divine right. Now
we know that Jehovah, our God, has given us the land of the
Israelites; and therefore we will not give it up."

{Weh(8483)leetheehoo (936c)ah,} rather, as Dr. Randolph and others
contend, "and I will offer Him (or to Him, i.e., Jehovah) a
burnt offering;" for {hoo} may with much more propriety be
referred to the person to whom the sacrifice was to be made,
than to the thing to be sacrificed. Unless understood in this
way, or as the marginal reading, it must have been the vow of
a heathen or a madman. If a dog, or other uncleaned animal
had met him, he could not have made it a burnt offering; or if
his neighbour's wife, sons, etc., his vow gave him no right
over them.

* did with.
That Jephthah did not sacrifice his daughter, but consecrated
her to the service of God in the tabernacle, in a state of
celibacy, will we imagine be evident from the following
consideration:--1. Human sacrifices were ever an abomination
to Jehovah, of which Jephthah could not be ignorant; and
consequently he would neither have made such a vow, nor
carried it into execution. 2. We are expressly told (ver.
29) that Jephthah was under the influence of the Spirit of
God, which would effectually prevent him from embruing his
hands in the blood of his own child. 3. He had it in his
power to redeem his daughter, (Le 27:4;) and surely his only
child must have been of more value than thirty shekles. 4.
Besides, who was to perform the horrid rite? Not Jephthah
himself, who was no priest, and in whom it would have been
most unnatural and inhuman; and the priests would certainly
have dissuaded him from it. 5. The sacred historian informs
us, that she bewailed her virginity, that she knew no man, and
that the Israelitish women went yearly to comfort or lament
with her.

Israelites (Nu 26:37) the whole tribe of Ephraim only amounted

too great.

Not being omitted: {Quem c(976d) interrog(8373)sim quis esset, et

sed hoc respondit, etc; "Whom when I asked who he was, and
whence he came, and by what name he was called, would not tell

the Septuagint, as it is in the Complutensian Polyglott; [kai
erouton auton pothen estin, kai to onoma auton, ouk apengeilen
moi.] "And I asked him whence he was, and his name, but he
did not tell me." This is also the reading of the Codex
Alexandrinus; but the Septuagint in the London Polyglott, the
Chaldee, Syriac, and Arabic, read the negative particle with
the Hebrew text: I asked Not his name, etc.

red cap and turban, a ({kumja}) shirt, which hangs outside of
the drawers, and comes below the knee; a ({caftan}) coat,
which buttons close before, and down to the bottom with large
open sleeves; over which, when they go out of doors, they
throw carelessly, and sometimes elegantly, a {hayk,} or
garment of white cotton, silk, or wool, five or six yards
long, and five feet wide. The Arabs often dispense with the
{caftan,} and even with the shirt, wearing nothing but the
{hayk.}"

* caught three.
Dr. Kennicott and others contend, that for {sh(8183)lim,} "foxes,"
we should read {sh(9483)lim,} "handfuls," or sheaves of corn.
But, 1. The word {lachad,} rendered caught, never signifies
simply to get or take but always to catch, seize, or take by
assault or stratagem. 2. Though the proposed alteration is
sanctioned by seven MSS., yet all the versions are on the
other side. 3. Admitting this alteration, it will be
difficult to prove that the word {sh(9483)l} means either a sheaf
or a handful of corn in the ear, and straw. It occurs but
thrice in Scriptures (1; Ki 20:10. Isa 40:12. Eze 13:9):
where it evidently means as much as can be contained in the
hollow of the hand; but when handfuls of grain in the shock,
or sheaves are intended, very different words are used. See
Ru 2.15, 16, etc. 4. It is not hinted that Samson collected
them alone, or in one day; he might have employed many hands
and several days in the work. 5. The word {sh(8183)l} properly
denotes the jackal, which travellers describe as an animal in
size between the wolf and fox, gregarious, as many as 200
having been seen together, and the most numerous of any in
eastern countries; so that Samson might have caught many of
them together in nets.

Some would render the words {aileph ish,} "a chief;" but it is

chief, a man." Add to which, that every version renders it "a
thousand men."

Samson gave this expressive name to the miraculously springing
water, to be as a memorial of the goodness of God to him.
En-hakkore, the well of him that cried, which kept him in
remembrance both of his own distress which caused him to cry,
and the favour of Jehovah to him in answer to his cry. Many a
spring of comfort God opens to his people, which may fitly be
called by the name En-hakkore: and this instance of Samson's
relief should encourage us to trust in God, for when he
pleases he can open rivers in high places.
Isa 41:17,18
Samson at first gave the name of Ramath-lehi (the lifting up
of the jaw-bone) which denoted him great and triumphant: but
now he gives it another name, En-hakkore, which denotes him
wanting and dependent.

* Gaza.
Gaza, a city of great antiquity, was situated between Raphia
and Askelon, twenty-two miles north of the former, and sixteen
south of of the latter, according to the Antonine Itinerary;
three miles from the sea, according to Arrian, and thirty-four
from Ashdod or Azotus, according to Diodorus Siculus. It was
a place of great strength and importance; and successively
belonged to the Philistines, Hebrews, Chaldeans, and Persians;
which latter defended it for two months against Alexander the
great, who finally took and destroyed it. It was afterwards
rebuilt, and alternately possessed by the Egyptians, Syrians,
and Jews. The present town, which the Arabs call Razza, is
situated on an eminence, and is rendered picturesque by the
number of fine minarets which rise majestically above the
buildings, with beautiful date trees interspersed. It

It is evident that this verse ends abruptly, and does not
contain a full sense. Houbigant has particularly noticed
this, and corrected the text from the Septuagint: which adds
after these words, [kai enkrouses to passalo eis ton toichou,
kai esomai hos eis ton anthropon asthenes kai egeneto en to
koimasthai auton kai elabe Dalida tas hepta seiras tes
kephales autou, kai hyphanen en to diasmati, k.t.l.] "and
shall fasten them with the pin in the wall, I shall become
weak like other men: and so it was, that when he slept,
Dalida took the seven locks of his head, and wove them with
the web," etc. This is absolutely necessary to complete the
sense; else Delilah would appear to do something she was not
ordered to do, and to omit what she was commanded. Dr.
Kennicott very judiciously observes, that the omission, for
such it appears to be, begins and ends with the same word; and
that the same word occurring in different places, is a very
common cause of omission in Hebrew manuscripts.

"Samson, therefore," says Dr. Shaw, "must have been in a court

kind with the ancient, [temene,] or sacred enclosures, which
were only surrounded either in part, or on all sides, with
some plain or cloistered buildings. Several palaces,
{doutwanas,} (as the courts of justice are called in those
countries) are built in this fashion. On their public
festivals and rejoicings, the roofs of these cloisters are
crowded with spectators. I have often seen numbers of people
diverted in this manner on the roof of the dey's palace at
Algiers; which, like many others, has an advanced cloister,
over against the gate of the palace, like a long pent-house,
supported by one or two contiguous pillars in front, or
centre."

This was the token of silence. These men were evidently very
ignorant; and absurdly concluded that they should, by taking
Micah's gods, secure the presence and favour of the God of
Israel, in their expedition and settlement. They perhaps
supposed the piety of their motives, and the goodness of their
end, would justify the means. But it was a base robbery of
Micah, aggravated by the Levite's ingratitude, and their
menaces.

Probably the people of Laish were originally a colony of the
Zidonians; who being an opulent people, and in possession of a
strong city, lived in a state of security, not being afraid of
their neighbours. In this the Leshemites imitated them,
though they appear not to have had the same reason for their
confidence; and though they might naturally expect help from
their countrymen, yet as they lived at a considerable distance
from Sidon, the Danites saw they could strike the blow before
the news of the invasion could reach that city.

Laish, or Dan, was situated at the northern extremity of the
land of Canaan, in a beautiful and fertile plain, at the foot
of mount Lebanon, on the springs of Jordan, and, according to
Eusebius, four miles from C(9173)area Philippi, or Paneas, now
Banias, (with which some have confounded it,) towards Tyre.
Burckhardt says, that the source of the river El Dhan, or
Jordan, is at an hour's distance from Banias, which agrees
with Eusebius.

Houbigant contends, that, instead of {ha(8472)etz,} "the land," we
should read {ha(8472)on,} "the ark;" for the [V(8376),] {wav,} and
[N(9677)n, {noon final,} might easily be mistaken for [Ts(8364)(8879),]
{tzadday final;} which is the only difference between the two

tells us, that Micah's graven image continued at Dan "all the

ark was taken by the Philistines.

In the latter part of the afternoon, eastern travellers begin
to look out for a place for this purpose. So Dr. Shaw
observes, "Our constant practice was to rise at break of day,
set forward with the sun, and travel to the middle of the
afternoon; at which time we began to look out for encampments
of Arabs; who, to prevent such parties as ours from living at
free charges upon them, take care to pitch in woods, valleys,
or places the least conspicuous."

furlongs north from Jerusalem; or, according to Jerome, about
two leagues.

There was probably no inn, or house of public entertainment in
this place; and therefore they could not have a lodging unless
furnished by mere hospitality. But these Benjamites seem to
have added to their other vices, avarice and inhospitality,
like the inhabitants of Akoura in mount Lebanon, mentioned by
Burckhardt.

It is probable, that with the pieces he sent to each tribe a
circumstantial account of the barbarity of the men of Gibeah;
and that they considered each of the pieces as expressing an
execration. That a similar custom prevailed in ancient times
is evident from 1; SA 11:7. It had an inhuman appearance, thus
to mangle the corpse of this unhappy woman; but it was
intended to excite a keener resentment against so horrible a
crime, which called for a punishment proportionally severe.

It does not appear that the Israelites on this occasion, were
summoned by the authority of any one common head, but they
came together by the consent and agreement, as it were, of one
common heart, fired with a holy zeal for the honour of God and
Israel. The place of their meeting was Mizpeh; they gathered
together unto the Lord there; for Mizpeh was so very near to
Shiloh, that their encampment might very well be supposed to
reach from Mizpeh to Shiloh. Shiloh was a small town, and
therefore, when there was a general meeting of the people to
present themselves before God, they chose Mizpeh for their
head quarters, which was the next adjoining city of note;
perhaps, because they were not willing to give that trouble to
Shiloh, which so great an assembly would occasion; it being
the residence of the priests that attended the tabernacle.

The conduct of the Israelites was very equitable in this
demand; but perhaps the rulers or elders of Gibeah ought
previously to have been applied to, to deliver up the
criminals to justice. However, the refusal of the Benjamites,
and their protection of those who had committed this horrible
wickedness, because they were of their own tribe, prove them
to have been deeply corrupted, and (all their advantages
considered) as ripe for divine vengeance as the inhabitants of
Sodom and Gomorrah had been. Confiding in their own valour
and military skill, they seen to have first prepared for
battle in this unequal contest with such superior numbers.

{Itter yad yemeeno,} "obstructed in his right hand;" so the
Chaldee Targum, {gemid beedaih deyammeena,} contracted or
impeded in his right hand." Le Clerc observes, that the 700
men left-handed seem therefore to have been made slingers,
because they could not use the right hand, which is employed
in managing heavier arms; and they could discharge the stones
from the sling in a direction against which their opponents
were not upon their guard, and thus do the greater execution.
3:15 1Ch 12:2

The sling was a very ancient warlike instrument; and, in the
hands of those who were skilled in the use of it, produced
astonishing effects. The inhabitants of the islands of
Baleares, now Majorca and Minorca, were the most celebrated
slingers of antiquity. They did not permit their children to
break their fast, till they had struck down the bread they had
to eat from the top of a pole, or some distant eminence.
Vegetius tells us, that slingers could in general hit the mark
at 600; feet distance.

It seems most evident that the Israelites did not seek the
protection of God. When they "went to the house of God,"
(ver. 18,) it was not to enquire concerning the expediency of
the war, nor of its success, but which of the tribes should
begin the attack: and here the question is, "Shall I go up
again to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother?"
Having so much right on their side, they had no doubt of the
justice of their cause, and the propriety of their conduct;
and having such a superiority of numbers, they had no doubt of
success. But God humbled them, and delivered them into the
hands of their enemies; and shewed them that the race was not
to the swift, nor the battle to the strong.

This was done, not only because they had placed an ambuscade
behind Gibeah, which was to enter and burn the city as soon as
the Benjamites left it; but it would seem, that the slingers,
by being within the city and its fortifications, had great
advantage over the Israelites by their slings, when they could
not come among them with their swords, unless they got them in
the plain country.

uncertain where situated. It is probable however, that it was
near, and took its name from, the village of Remmon, mentioned
by Eusebius, fifteen miles north from Jerusalem. It appears
that rocks are still resorted to in the East, as places of
security; and some of them are even capable of sustaining a
siege. De La Roque says, that "The Grand Seignior, wishing to
seize the person of the emir (Fakr-eddin, prince of the
Druses,) gave orders to the pacha to take him prisoner: he
accordingly came in search of him, with a new army, in the
district of Chouf, which is part of mount Lebanon, wherein is
the village of Gesin, and close to it, the rock which served
for a retreat to the emir. It is named in Arabic, Magara
Gesin, i.e., the cavern of Gessin, by which name it is famous.
The pacha pressed the emir so closely, that this unfortunate
prince was obliged to shut himself up in the cleft of a great
rock, with a small number of his officers. The pacha besieged
him there several months; and was going to blow up the rock by
a mine, when the emir capitulated."

This place, as its name imports, was situated in Gilead, east
of Jordan. Eusebius and Jerome say it was a great town in
their time, standing upon a hill, six miles south from Pella,
in the way to Geresa, now Djerash. The Wady Yabes, mentioned
by Burckhardt, which empties itself into the Jordan, in the
neighbourhood of Bisan or Beth-shan (see 1; Sa 31:11,) and upon
which Pella was situated, (celebrated by Pliny, 1. v. c. 18,
for its fine waters,) seems to have taken its name from
Jabesh. Near this spot, we must therefore look for its site;
and the place called Kalaat Rabbad seems to correspond, very
nearly, to the spot; though it probably still retains among
the Arabs its ancient name.

As they had sworn to destroy those who would not assist in the
war (ver. 5,) they determined to destroy the men of Jabesh,
and to leave none except the virgins; and to give these to the
600; Benjamites who had escaped to the rock of Rimmon. The
whole account is dreadful. The crime of the men of Gibeah was
of the deepest dye; the punishment involving both the guilty
and innocent, was extended to the most criminal excess, and
their mode of remedying the evil they had occasioned was
equally abominable.

Maundrell supposes, that either Khan Leban, which is situated
on the eastern side of a "delicious vale," four leagues south
from Shechem, and two leagues north from Bethel, or the
village of Leban, which is on the opposite side, occupies the
site of the ancient Lebonah. It is eight hours, or about 24
miles, from Jerusalem, according to Dr. Richardson.

It appears that the Benjamites acted in the most honourable
way to the women they had thus violently carried off, and we
may rest assured, that they took them to an inheritance more
than equal to their own. But this transaction, as well as the
indiscriminate massacre of the people of Jabesh-gilead, as Dr.
Gray observes, was certainly stamped with injustice and
cruelty; and must be condemned on those principles which the
Scriptures elsewhere furnish.

CONCLUDING REMARKS ON THE BOOK OF JUDGES.
The book of Judges forms an important link in the history of the
Israelites. It furnishes us with a lively description of a
fluctuating and unsettled nation; a striking picture of the
disorders and dangers which prevailed in a republic without
magistracy; when "the high-ways were unoccupied, and the
travellers walked through by-ways," (ch. 5:6;) when few prophets
were appointed to control the people, and "every one did that
which was right in his own eyes." (ch. 17:6.) It exhibits the
contest of true religion with superstition; and displays the
beneficial effects that flow from the former, and the miseries
and evil consequences of impiety. It is a most remarkable
history of the long-suffering of God towards the Israelites, in
which we see the most signal instances of his justice and mercy
alternately displayed: the people sinned, and were punished;
they repented, and found mercy. These things are written for
our warning: none should presume, for God is just; none need
despair, for God is merciful. Independently of the internal
evidence of the authenticity of this sacred book, the
transactions it records are not only cited or alluded to by
other inspired writers, but are further confirmed by the
traditions current among heathen nations.
