Juízes 3:10 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 3:10

And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him
Moved him to engage in this work of delivering Israel, inspired him with courage, and filled him with every needful gift, qualifying him for it; the Targum interprets it the spirit of prophecy; it seems father to be the spirit of counsel and courage, of strength and fortitude of body and mind:

and he judged Israel;
took upon him the office of a judge over them, and executed it; very probably the first work he set about was to reprove them for their sins, and convince them of them, and reform them from their idolatry, and restore among them the pure worship of God; and this he did first before he took up arms for them:

and he went out to war;
raised an army, and went out at the head of them, to fight with their oppressor:

and the Lord delivered Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his
hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushanrishathaim;
gave him the victory over him and his army, so that he fell into his hands, became his captive, and perhaps was slain by him.

Juízes 3:10 In-Context

8 Acendeu-se a ira do SENHOR de tal forma contra Israel que ele os entregou nas mãos de Cuchã-Risataim, rei da Mesopotâmia, por quem os israelitas foram subjugados durante oito anos.

9 Mas, quando clamaram ao SENHOR, ele lhes levantou um libertador, Otoniel, filho de Quenaz, o irmão mais novo de Calebe, que os libertou.

10 O Espírito do SENHOR veio sobre ele, de modo que liderou Israel e foi à guerra. O SENHOR entregou Cuchã-Risataim, rei da Mesopotâmia, nas mãos de Otoniel, que prevaleceu contra ele.

11 E a terra teve paz durante quarenta anos, até a morte de Otoniel, filho de Quenaz.

12 Mais uma vez os israelitas fizeram o que o SENHOR reprova, e por isso o SENHOR deu a Eglom, rei de Moabe, poder sobre Israel.
