This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
discouraged: Heb. melted, Deu 20:8 *marg. Exo 15:15; Jos 2:9, Jos 2:11, Jos 2:24 *marg. Jos 14:8; Isa 13:7; Eze 21:7
The people: Deu 9:1-2; Num 13:28-33
walled: That is, with very high walls, which could not be easily scaled. Harmer says, high walls are still to be seen in Arabia, and are deemed a sufficient defence against the Arabs, who scarcely ever attempt to plunder except on horseback. The monastery on Mount Sinai, and the convent of St. Anthony in Egypt, are surrounded with a very high wall, without gates; the persons and things being taken up and let down through an opening in the upper part, by means of a pulley and a basket. This kind of walling is a sufficient defence.
we have seen: Deu 9:2; Jos 11:22, Jos 15:14; Jdg 1:10, Jdg 1:20; 2Sa 21:16-22
