Judges 6:22
realized ................ seen <07200> [perceived.]
have <03651> [because.]
Judges 6:31
battles .......................... battles <07378> [Will ye plead.]
The words are very emphatic: "Will ye plead in earnest ({tereevoon}) for Baal? Will ye really save ({tosheeoon}) him? If he be God, ({Elohim,}) let him contend for himself, seeing his altar is thrown down."
die <04191> [let him be.]
god <0430> [if he be.]
Judges 7:1
Jerub-Baal <03378> [Jerubbaal.]
It appears that Jerubbaal had now become the surname of Gideon. He is mentioned by Sanchoniathon, quoted by Eusebius, who lived in the reign of Ithobal, king of Tyre, and consequently a little after the time of Gideon, by the name of Jerombalus, a priest of Jeuo or Jao.
got up <07925> [rose up.]
Moreh <04176> [Moreh.]
Judges 9:3

Judges 9:18

Judges 9:33
can <03027 04672> [as thou shalt find. Heb. as thine hand shall find.]
Judges 13:6
husband ... man <0376> [A man.]
looked like <04758> [countenance was.]
awesome <03372> [terrible.]
ask <07592> [but I asked, etc.]
The Vulgate renders this cause very differently, the negative Not being omitted: {Quem c—m interrogƒssim quis esset, et unde venisset, et quo nomine vocaretur, noluit mihi dicere; sed hoc respondit, etc; "Whom when I asked who he was, and whence he came, and by what name he was called, would not tell me: but this he said," etc. The negative is also wanting in the Septuagint, as it is in the Complutensian Polyglott; [kai erouton auton pothen estin, kai to onoma auton, ouk apengeilen moi.] "And I asked him whence he was, and his name, but he did not tell me." This is also the reading of the Codex Alexandrinus; but the Septuagint in the London Polyglott, the Chaldee, Syriac, and Arabic, read the negative particle with the Hebrew text: I asked Not his name, etc.
name <08034> [his name.]
Judges 13:16
eat <0398> [I will not.]
As I am a spiritual being, I subsist not by earthly food; and cannot partake of your bounty.
If ........... if <0518> [and if, etc.]
Rather, "but if thou wilt offer," etc.
[unto thee.]

ropes <05688> [the cords.]
melted away <04549> [loosed. Heb. were melted.]
Judges 18:30
worshiped <06965> [set up.]
God had graciously performed his promise, in putting these Danites in possession of that which fell to their lot, obliging them thereby to be faithful to him who had been so to them; they inherited the labour of the people, that they might observe his statues. Ps 105:44, 45. But the first thing they do after they are settled is to break his laws, by setting up the graven image, attributing their success to that idol, which, if God had not been infinitely patient, would have been their ruin. Thus a prosperous idolater goes on to offend, imputing this his power unto his God. Instead of Manasseh, some would read Moses; as it is found in some MSS., in the Vulgate and in the concessions of the most intelligent Jews. But Bp. Patrick takes this to be an idle conceit of the Rabbins, and supposes this Jonathan to be of some other family of the Levites. Yet Kimchi acknowledges, that the Jews, deeply concerned for the honour of their lawgiver, to whom they thought it would be a great dishonour to have a grandson who was an idolater, suspended the letter, [N–wn,] {noon,} over the word [M“sheh <\\See definition 04872\\>"] <\\See definition 04873\\> Moses, thus [Menashsheh <\\See definition 04519\\>,] as it is found in the Hebrew Bibles; which, by means of the points, they have changed into Manasseh.
time <03117> [until.]
exile <0776> [the land.]
Houbigant contends, that, instead of {ha„retz,} "the land," we should read {ha„ron,} "the ark;" for the [Vƒv,] {wav,} and [N–wn, {noon final,} might easily be mistaken for [Tsƒdˆy,] {tzadday final;} which is the only difference between the two words. This conjecture is the more likely, as the next verse tells us, that Micah's graven image continued at Dan "all the time that the house of God was at Shiloh;" which was till the ark was taken by the Philistines.
Judges 19:9
day .......... day <03117> [the day.]
<07503> [draweth, etc. Heb. is weak. the day groweth to an end. Heb. it is the pitching time of the day, Jer 6:4.]
That is, it was near the time in which travellers ordinarily pitched their tents, to take up their lodging for the night. In the latter part of the afternoon, eastern travellers begin to look out for a place for this purpose. So Dr. Shaw observes, "Our constant practice was to rise at break of day, set forward with the sun, and travel to the middle of the afternoon; at which time we began to look out for encampments of Arabs; who, to prevent such parties as ours from living at free charges upon them, take care to pitch in woods, valleys, or places the least conspicuous."
tomorrow <04279> [to morrow.]
home <0168> [home. Heb. to thy tent.]
Judges 20:39
Israelites .......... Israelites ....... men <0376> [And when.]
strike down ..... struck down <02491 05221> [smite and kill. Heb. smite the wounded.]
