Psalms 83:10

83:10 They were destroyed at Endor; ¹ 

their corpses were like manure ²  on the ground.

Psalms 106:34

106:34 They did not destroy the nations, ³ 

as the Lord had commanded them to do.

[83:10]  ¹ sn Endor is not mentioned in the accounts of Gideon’s or Barak’s victories, but both battles took place in the general vicinity of the town. (See Y. Aharoni and M. Avi-Yonah, The Macmillan Bible Atlas, 46, 54.) Because Sisera and Jabin are mentioned in v. 9b, many understand them to be the subject of the verbs in v. 10, though they relate v. 10 to Gideon’s victory, which is referred to in v. 9a, 11. (See, for example, Y. Aharoni, The Land of the Bible, 263.)

[83:10]  ² tn Heb “they were manure.” In addition to this passage, corpses are compared to manure in 2 Kgs 9:37; Jer 8:2; 9:21; 16:4; 25:33.

[106:34]  ³ tn That is, the nations of Canaan.
