Judges 10:11 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 10:11

And the Lord said unto the children of Israel
By a prophet he sent unto them, as Kimchi and Abarbinel, see ( Judges 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, ( Judges 3:13 )

and from the Philistines?
in the times of Shamgar, ( Judges 3:31 ) .

Judges 10:11 In-Context

9 Then the Ammonites crossed the Jordan to go to war also against Judah, Benjamin, and Ephraim. Israel was in a bad way!
10 The People of Israel cried out to God for help: "We've sinned against you! We left our God and worshiped the Baal gods!"
11 God answered the People of Israel: "When the Egyptians, Amorites, Ammonites, Philistines, Sidonians
12 - even Amalek and Midian! - oppressed you and you cried out to me for help, I saved you from them.
13 And now you've gone off and betrayed me, worshiping other gods. I'm not saving you anymore.
