Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| A similar use of the name Amorite, instead of the more usual name Canaanite, occurs in Jos 24:15, Jos 24:18. Perhaps a special reason may be found for the use of Amorite, if the prophet was addressing those who dwelt in the mountains, where the Amorites chiefly dwelt. The idolatries of the Amorites seem, too, to have been preeminently abominable (see Kg2 21:11; Kg1 21:26). It should be observed that the prophet's language, as it traces the misery of Israel to their sins, so also intimates the necessity of repentance and of breaking off their sins - especially the sin of idolatry - as preliminary to any deliverance. In exact accordance with this view, Gideon commences his work by throwing down the altar of Baal, and building up the altar of Yahweh Jdg 6:24-25. |

| Not obeyed my voice - He intends to bring them to repentance. And our repentance is then genuine, when he sinfulness of sin, as disobedience to God, is that in it which we chiefly lament. |
24 Then Gideon [01439] built [01129] an altar [04196] there unto the LORD [03068], and called [07121] it Jehovahshalom [03073]: unto this day [03117] it is yet in Ophrah [06084] of the Abiezrites [033].
25 And it came to pass the same night [03915], that the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto him, Take [03947] thy father's [01] young [06499] bullock [07794], even the second [08145] bullock [06499] of seven [07651] years old [08141], and throw down [02040] the altar [04196] of Baal [01168] that thy father [01] hath, and cut down [03772] the grove [0842] that is by it:
26 And he did very [03966] abominably [08581] in following [03212] [0310] idols [01544], according to all things as did [06213] the Amorites [0567], whom the LORD [03068] cast out [03423] before [06440] the children [01121] of Israel [03478].
11 Because Manasseh [04519] king [04428] of Judah [03063] hath done [06213] these abominations [08441], and hath done wickedly [07489] above all that the Amorites [0567] did [06213], which were before [06440] him, and hath made Judah [03063] also to sin [02398] with his idols [01544]:
18 And the LORD [03068] drave out [01644] from before [06440] us all the people [05971], even the Amorites [0567] which dwelt [03427] in the land [0776]: therefore will we also serve [05647] the LORD [03068]; for he is our God [0430].
15 And if it seem evil [07489] unto you [04310] to serve [05647] the LORD [03068], choose [0977] you this day [03117] whom [05869] ye will serve [05647]; whether the gods [0430] which your fathers [01] served [05647] that were on the other side [05676] of the flood [05104], or the gods [0430] of the Amorites [0567], in whose land [0776] ye dwell [03427]: but as for me and my house [01004], we will serve [05647] the LORD [03068].
