Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| The Amorites are usually found in the mountain Num 13:29; Jos 10:6. Here they dwell in the valley, of which the monuments of Rameses III show them to have been in possession when that monarch invaded Syria. It was their great strength in this district, and their forcible detention of the territory of Dan, which led to the expedition of the Danites Judg. 18. The house of Joseph lent their powerful aid in subduing them, probably in the times of the Judges. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| The valley - That is, into the plain country; which was the occasion of that expedition for the getting new quarters, of which we read Jos 19:47-48 and Jdg. 18:1-31. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| The Amorites forced the children of Dan, etc. - Just as the ancient Britons were driven into the mountains of Wales by the Romans; and the native Indians driven back into the woods by the British settlers in America. |
6 And the men [0582] of Gibeon [01391] sent [07971] unto Joshua [03091] to the camp [04264] to Gilgal [01537], saying [0559], Slack [07503] not thy hand [03027] from thy servants [05650]; come up [05927] to us quickly [04120], and save [03467] us, and help [05826] us: for all the kings [04428] of the Amorites [0567] that dwell [03427] in the mountains [02022] are gathered together [06908] against us.
29 The Amalekites [06002] dwell [03427] in the land [0776] of the south [05045]: and the Hittites [02850], and the Jebusites [02983], and the Amorites [0567], dwell [03427] in the mountains [02022]: and the Canaanites [03669] dwell [03427] by the sea [03220], and by the coast [03027] of Jordan [03383].
47 And the coast [01366] of the children [01121] of Dan [01835] went out [03318] too little for them: therefore the children [01121] of Dan [01835] went up [05927] to fight [03898] against Leshem [03959], and took [03920] it, and smote [05221] it with the edge [06310] of the sword [02719], and possessed [03423] it, and dwelt [03427] therein, and called [07121] Leshem [03959], Dan [01835], after the name [08034] of Dan [01835] their father [01].
48 This is the inheritance [05159] of the tribe [04294] of the children [01121] of Dan [01835] according to their families [04940], these cities [05892] with their villages [02691].
