Juízes 10:17 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 10:17

Then the children of Ammon were gathered together
By a crier, as Jarchi; they had passed over Jordan, as in ( Judges 10:9 ) and had been distressing three of the tribes of Israel on that side; but now being informed, by an herald at arms, that the children of Israel, on the other side Jordan, were risen up in defence of their country, rights, and liberties, the children of Ammon came back and crossed over Jordan again:

and encamped in Gilead;
in the land of Gilead, part of which belonged to the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the other part to the half tribe of Manasseh:

and the children of Israel assembled themselves together, and encamped
at Mizpeh:
of which name there were several cities in the land of Israel, on both sides Jordan; this must design a place on the other side Jordan, either in the tribe of Gad or Manasseh, for it seems there was of this name in each, see ( Genesis 31:49 ) ( Joshua 11:3 ) .

Juízes 10:17 In-Context

15 Os israelitas, porém, disseram ao SENHOR: “Nós pecamos. Faze conosco o que achares melhor, mas te rogamos, livra-nos agora”.

16 Então eles se desfizeram dos deuses estrangeiros que havia no meio deles e prestaram culto ao SENHOR. E ele não pôde mais suportar o sofrimento de Israel.

17 Quando os amonitas foram convocados e acamparam em Gileade, os israelitas reuniram-se e acamparam em Mispá.

18 Os líderes do povo de Gileade disseram uns aos outros: “Quem iniciar o ataque contra os amonitas será chefe dos que vivem em Gileade”.
