Verse 12. Strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round. These animals are remarkable for the proud, fierce, and sullen manner in which they exercise their great strength. Such were the persecutors who now beset our Lord. These were first, human, and secondly, spiritual foes; and both were alike distinguished by the proud, fierce, and sullen manner in which they assaulted him. John Stevenson.
Verse 12-13. "Bashan" was a fertile country ( Numbers 32:4 ), and the cattle there fed were fat and "strong." Deuteronomy 32:14 . Like them, the Jews, in that good land, "waxed fat and kicked", grew proud, and rebelled; forsook God "that made them, and lightly esteemed the rock of their salvation." George Horne.
