Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Hosea 10:9

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

9. Gibeah — ( Hosea 9:9 ; Judges 19:1-20 ). They are singled out as a specimen of the whole nation. there they stood —The Israelites have, as there and then, so ever since, persisted in their sin [CALVIN]. Or, better, "they stood their ground," that is, did not perish then [MAURER]. the battle . . . did not overtake them —Though God spared you then, He will not do so now; nay, the battle whereby God punished the Gibeonite "children of iniquity," shall the more heavily visit you for your continued impenitence. Though "they stood" then, it shall not be so now. The change from "thou" to "they" marks God's alienation from them; they are, by the use of the third person, put to a greater distance from God. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-10" class="com-number"
