This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Issachar. Original Orth = he bringeth reward; referring to birth, Gen_30:18 (compare Psa_24:5. Ecc_5:18. Est_2:9, &c.) But here = a hireling. The prophecy is: "The hireling is the ass (or saddle-bearer) of strangers, Couching down among the folds; When he saw rest that it was good, And the land that it was pleasant:" &c. He preferred to pay tribute to the Canaanites rather than engage in the struggle to expel them.
