John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical

But God lets them know that though he does not see fit to draw Israel's sword against them (they were unworthy to be employed), yet God had a sword of his own, with which he could make a no less dreadful execution among them, which if he whet, and his hand take hold on judgment, he will render vengeance to his enemies, Deut. xxxii.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

The Psalmist, speaking of this sore judgment upon the Philistines, describes it thus: God smote his enemies in the hinder parts, and put them to a perpetual reproach, Ps. lxxviii. The emerods (which we call the piles, and perhaps it was then a more grievous disease than it is now) is threatened among the judgments that would be the fruit of the curse, Deut. xxviii.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan
