Judges 10:11

Jdg 10:11 And the LORD said unto the children of Israel, [Did] not [I deliver you] from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines?

Ver. 11. Did not I deliver you from the Egyptians?] They instance their sins, and God’s benefits - teaching us to keep catalogues - for an aggravation of their sins. See Deu 32:5-6 Ezr 9:13-14. There is here an angry aposiopesis; for these words, "I deliver you," are not in the original. Those that are angry use to utter imperfect speeches.

Jdg 10:11. The Lord said unto Israel — Either by some prophet whom he raised up, and sent for this purpose, or by the high-priest consulting God for them by Urim and Thummim. For we find that the Israelites, notwithstanding their idolatries, when they were sorely afflicted, bethought themselves of repairing to the tabernacle, and asking counsel of the Lord. Did not I deliver you from the Amorites? — Both Sihon and Og, and their people, and other kings of the Amorites. From the children of Ammon — Who were confederate with the Moabites, Jdg 3:13-14.

the Lord said . . . Did I not deliver you from the Egyptians--The circumstances recorded in this and the following verses were not probably made through the high priest, whose duty it was to interpret the will of God.

Verse 11. And the Lord said] By what means these reproofs were conveyed to the Israelites, we know not: it must have been by an angel, a prophet, or some holy man inspired for the occasion.

11. not … from the Egyptians] The missing verb is supplied by the RV., cf. Exo_14:30; did not I bring you up would be better—the verb usually found with from Egypt, Jdg_2:1, Jdg_6:8; then the rest of the verse must be an editorial expansion. But if the restoration of the RV. be kept, the whole verse can be regarded as a conventional summary; no distinct oppression by the Amorites is recorded.

And the Lord said unto the children of Israel,.... By a prophet he sent unto them, as Kimchi and Abarbinel, see Jdg 6:8, whom Ben Gersom takes to be Phinehas, but he could not be living at this time; or by an angel, a created one, sent on this occasion; or the uncreated one, the Son and Word of God, who might appear in an human form, and to whom all that is here said is applicable:

did not I deliver you from the Egyptians; by bringing them out of subjection and bondage to them, and by delivering them out of their hands at the Red sea:

and from the Amorites; the kings of Sihon and Og, whose countries were taken from them, and put into their hands, when they attempted to stop them in their march to the land of Canaan:

from the children of Ammon; when they joined with the Moabites against them, Jdg 3:13.

and from the Philistines? in the times of Shamgar, Jdg 3:31.

11. The Lord said — How the Lord spake on this occasion we are not told, and the question can only be a subject of conjecture. Some have thought he spoke by a prophet; others, by some sublime theophany. Keil thinks the answer was given in front of the tabernacle at Shiloh, where the people had assembled to call on the Lord, and came either through the high priest, or by an inward voice which aroused in their consciences the memory of the Lord’s gracious acts and their ingratitude and apostasy.

From the Egyptians — By all the miracles of the exodus from that house of bondage, minutely described in the first fourteen chapters of Exodus.

Did not I deliver you, etc. These references to former deliverances are of great historical value, and not the least so as they allude to events of which the existing records give no account, or a very imperfect one. They show the existence of a real history in the background of that which has been preserved in the Bible. (see Jud_1:8:13, note) From the Egyptians, as related at large in the Book of Exodus; from the Amorites, as related in Num_21:21-35; from the children of Ammon, who were confederate with the Moabites under Ehud, as we learn from Jud_1:3:13; from the Philistines, as is briefly recorded in Jud_1:3:31.
