13. envy . . . of Ephraim . . . Judah —which began as early as the time ( Judges 8:1 ; Judges 12:1 , c.). Joshua had sprung from, and resided among the Ephraimites ( Numbers 13:9 Joshua 19:50 ); the sanctuary was with them for a time ( Joshua 18:1 ). The jealousy increased subsequently ( 2 Samuel 2:8 ; 2 Samuel 19:41 ; 2 Samuel 20:2 ; 2 Samuel 3:10 ); and even before David's time ( 1 Samuel 11:8 ; 1 Samuel 15:4 ), they had appropriated to themselves the national name Israel. It ended in disruption ( 1 Kings 11:26 ; 1 Kings 12:1-33 ; compare 2 Kings 14:9 ; Psalms 78:56-71 ). adversaries of Judah —rather, "the adversaries from Judah"; those of Judah hostile to the Ephraimites [MAURER]. The parallelism "the envy of Ephraim," namely, against Judah, requires this, as also what follows; namely, "Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim" ( Ezekiel 37:15 ; Ezekiel 37:17 ; Ezekiel 37:19 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-14" class="com-number"
