On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

When the Egyptians pursued them Israel must stand still and see what God would do; but now it was required that they should bestir themselves. Note, God is to be trusted in the use of means.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Note, When the host goes forth against the enemy earnest prayers should be made to the God of hosts for his presence with them. It is here the praying legion that proves the thundering legion. There, in Salem, in Sion where prayers were made, there the victory was won, there broke the arrows of the bow, Ps. lxxvi.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

This is the earliest notice of a young warrior destined to act a prominent part in the history of Israel. He went with a number of picked men. There is not here a wide open plain on which the battle took place, as according to the rules of modern warfare.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

Is not the battle the Lord's? Is not he able to help, and engaged to help? Moses was not only a standard-bearer, but an intercessor, pleading with God for success and victory.

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