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 Mas os filhos de Israel disseram ao Senhor: Pecamos; fazes-nos conforme tudo quanto te parecer bem; tão-somente te rogamos que nos livres hoje.

16 E tiraram os deuses alheios do meio de si, e serviram ao Senhor, que se moveu de compaixão por causa da desgraça de Israel.

17 Depois os amonitas se reuniram e acamparam em Gileade; também os filhos de Israel, reunindo-se, acamparam em Mizpá.

18 Então o povo, isto é, os príncipes de Gileade disseram uns aos outros: Quem será o varão que começará a peleja contra os amonitas? esse será o chefe de todos os habitantes de Gileade.
