Jueces 2:16 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 2:16

Nevertheless, the Lord raised up judges
Who are particularly mentioned by name, and their exploits recorded, in some following chapters, and from whom the book in general has its name: these were men that God raised up in an extraordinary manner, and spirited and qualified for the work he had to do by them; which was to deliver the people of Israel out of the hands of their oppressors, and restore them to their privileges and liberties, and protect them in them, and administer justice to them; which was a wonderful instance of the goodness of God to them, notwithstanding their many provoking sins and transgressions:

which delivered them out of the hands of those that spoiled them;
who took away their goods and cattle from them, and carried their persons captive: these were the instruments of recovering both again, just as Abraham brought again Lot and all his goods.

Jueces 2:16 In-Context

14 Y el furor del SE脩OR se encendi贸 contra Israel, el cual los entreg贸 en manos de robadores que les robaron, y los vendi贸 en manos de sus enemigos de alrededor; y no pudieron parar m谩s delante de sus enemigos.
15 Por dondequiera que sal铆an, la mano del SE脩OR era contra ellos para mal, como el SE脩OR hab铆a dicho, y como el SE脩OR se lo hab铆a jurado; as铆 los afligi贸 en gran manera.
16 Mas el SE脩OR despert贸 jueces que los librasen de mano de los que les saqueaban.
17 Y tampoco oyeron a sus jueces, sino que fornicaron tras dioses ajenos, a los cuales adoraron; y se apartaron presto del camino en que anduvieron sus padres escuchando los mandamientos del SE脩OR; mas ellos no hicieron as铆.
18 Y cuando el SE脩OR les despertaba jueces, el SE脩OR era con el juez, y los libraba de mano de los enemigos todo el tiempo de aquel juez; porque el SE脩OR se arrepent铆a por sus gemidos a causa de los que los oprim铆an y aflig铆an.
