Jdg_2:15 Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD had said, and as the LORD had sworn unto them: and they were greatly distressed.
Ver. 15. As the Lord had said, and as the Lord had sworn.] But they would never believe till they felt, as holding all to be spoken in terrorem only to frighten silly people, or putting off all with a "God forbid," as those in Luk_20:16; but execution followeth commination, unless repentance interpose and take up the quarrel.
And they were greatly distressed.] See Zep_3:5. {See Trapp on "Zep_3:5"}
