Psalms 83:9 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 83:9

Do unto them as unto the Midianites
In the times of Gideon, who destroyed one another, trod in whose destruction the hand of the Lord was very visible, ( Judges 7:20-22 ) , and much in the same manner was the confederate army of the Moabites, Ammonites, and others, destroyed in the times of Jehoshaphat, ( 2 Chronicles 20:20 2 Chronicles 20:23 2 Chronicles 20:24 ) ,

as to Sisera, as to Jabin:
Jabin was a king of Canaan, who oppressed Israel, and Sisera was his general; the latter was slain by a woman, Jael, the wife of Heber; and the former the hand of Israel prevailed against, until they destroyed him, ( Judges 4:2 Judges 4:21 Judges 4:22 Judges 4:24 ) , the great victory which they obtained over them was

at the brook of Kison,
or "Kishon", ( Judges 4:7 ) ( 5:21 ) with this compare ( 2 Chronicles 20:16 ) .
