Judges 4:6
Barak <01301> [Barak.]
Kedesh <06943> [Kedesh-naphtali.]
Lord <03068> [Hath.]
Tabor <08396> [Tabor.]
ten thousand <0505 06235> [ten thousand.]
Judges 4:14
action <06965> [Up.]
day <03117> [for this.]
This is exactly the purpose for which the Septuagint states, ver. 8, that Barak wished Deborah to accompany him: "Because I know not the day in which God will send his angel to give me prosperity."
Lord .......... Lord <03068> [is not.]
Mount <02022> [mount.]
Mount Tabor, called by the Arabs Djebel Tour, is almost entirely insulated, and rises up in the plain of Esdraelon, about six miles from Nazareth, in a conical form, somewhat like a sugar-loaf. Josephus states its height to be thirty stadia, with a plain of 26 stadia in circumference on its top, on which was formerly a city, which was used as a military post. It is described as an exceedingly beautiful mountain, having a rich soil, producing excellent herbage, and adorned with groves and clumps of trees.
Judges 8:26
seventeen hundred <0505> [a thousand.]
Taking the shekel at half an ounce, the sum of the gold ear-rings was 73 lbs. 4oz. and worth about Å“3,300 sterling.
jewelry <05188> [collars. or, sweet jewels. purple.]
necklaces <06060> [chains.]
Judges 9:49
put ...... stronghold ...... it <07760 06877> [put them.]
Judges 12:6
said .... Say Shibboleth .... said <0559 07641> [Say now.]
Shibboleth <07641> [Shibboleth. which signifieth a stream, or flood.]
{Shibboleth} also means an ear of corn, (Job 24:24,) and {sibboleth} signifies a burden, (Ex 6:6;) and a heavy burden they were obliged to bear who could not pronounce this test letter. It is well known that several nations cannot pronounce certain letters. The sound of th cannot be pronounced by the Persians, no more than by some of our Continental neighbours; though it is a common sound among the Arabians. To this day, many of the German Jews cannot articulate [t] th, for which they substitute ss; thus for {baith,} a house, they say {baiss.}
fell dead <05307> [there fell.]
forty-two <0705> [forty.]
{Arb„im ooshenayim aleph,} "forty and two thousand." Here the [w,] and, may mean simple addition; and this number may denote 2,040 and not 42,000. At the last census of the Israelites (Nu 26:37) the whole tribe of Ephraim only amounted to 32,500, compared with which this last number appears far too great.
Judges 15:11
went down <03381> [went. Heb. went down. the rock Etam.]
Probably near the town Etam, mentioned in 1 Ch 4:32.
Philistines <06430> [Philistines.]

humiliate <06031> [afflict. or, humble. we will.]
Judges 17:2-3
curse <0422> [about, etc.]
Houbigant renders this, "and for which you put me to my oath."
curse <0422> [cursedst.]
mother ............ stolen ................... stole ............. mother <03947 0517> [I took it.]
reward <01288> [Blessed.]
solemnly dedicate <06942> [I had wholly.]
carved image <06459> [a graven image.]
Judges 20:15

Judges 20:25
struck down <07843> [destroyed.]
Judges 20:35
25,100 <06242> [twenty.]
Though the numbers of the Israelites were immensely superior to those of Benjamin, though the stratagem was well laid and ingeniously executed, and the battle bravely fought, yet the inspired historian ascribes the victory to the hand of the Lord, as entirely as if he had smitten the Benjamites by a miracle.
Judges 21:10
kill <03212 05221> [Go and smite.]
As they had sworn to destroy those who would not assist in the war (ver. 5,) they determined to destroy the men of Jabesh, and to leave none except the virgins; and to give these to the 600 Benjamites who had escaped to the rock of Rimmon. The whole account is dreadful. The crime of the men of Gibeah was of the deepest dye; the punishment involving both the guilty and innocent, was extended to the most criminal excess, and their mode of remedying the evil they had occasioned was equally abominable.
