Judges 3:2 (King James Version)
Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing thereof;
- might know
- Genesis 2:17 ; Genesis 3:5 Genesis 3:7 2 Chronicles 12:8 ; Matthew 10:34-39 ; John 16:33 ; 1 Corinthians 9:26 1 Corinthians 9:27
- Ephesians 6:11-18 ; 1 Timothy 6:12 ; 2 Timothy 2:3 ; 4:7
- to teach
- Their fathers fought by a divine power. God taught their hands to war and their fingers to fight, that they might be the instruments of destruction to the wicked nations on whom the curse rested; but now that they had forfeited His favour, they must learn what it is to fight like other men.
