The Israelites, like most ancient nations, were little able to take cities by storm, and relied either on blockade or on internal treachery. Saw a man come forth.--Probably he stole out secretly, and was seized by the scouts. Similarly the Persians took Sardis by seizing a path used by a man who had dropped his helmet, and descended the hill fortress to pick it up (Herod. i. 84). We will shew thee mercy.--They bribed him. with the promise of personal safety. (Compare Joshua 2:12; Joshua 2:6) Verse 24. - We will show thee mercy. Compare the saving of Rahab alive, with all her house, at the taking of Jericho (Joshua 6:23). This history is not preserved in the parallel place in Joshua 16. 1:21-36 The people of Israel were very careless of their duty and interest. Owing to slothfulness and cowardice, they would not be at the pains to complete their conquests. It was also owing to their covetousness: they were willing to let the Canaanites live among them, that they might make advantage of them. They had not the dread and detestation of idolatry they ought to have had. The same unbelief that kept their fathers forty years out of Canaan, kept them now out of the full possession of it. Distrust of the power and promise of God deprived them of advantages, and brought them into troubles. Thus many a believer who begins well is hindered. His graces languish, his lusts revive, Satan plies him with suitable temptations, the world recovers its hold; he brings guilt into his conscience, anguish into his heart, discredit on his character, and reproach on the gospel. Though he may have sharp rebukes, and be so recovered that he does not perish, yet he will have deeply to lament his folly through his remaining days; and upon his dying bed to mourn over the opportunities of glorifying God and serving the church he has lost. We can have no fellowship with the enemies of God within us or around us, but to our hurt; therefore our only wisdom is to maintain unceasing war against them.Jump to Previous City Clear Deal Entrance Kind Kindly Kindness Mercy Please Shew Show Spies Treat Treated Watchers WayJump to Next City Clear Deal Entrance Kind Kindly Kindness Mercy Please Shew Show Spies Treat Treated Watchers WayLinks Judges 1:24 NIVJudges 1:24 NLT Judges 1:24 ESV Judges 1:24 NASB Judges 1:24 KJV Judges 1:24 Bible Apps Judges 1:24 Biblia Paralela Judges 1:24 Chinese Bible Judges 1:24 French Bible Judges 1:24 German Bible Alphabetical: a and are city coming entrance get him how into kindly man of out Please said saw see Show spies that the they to treat treated us we well will you OT History: Judges 1:24 The watchers saw a man come forth (Jd Judg.
