    VERSE 7 
     - their thumbs.  Heb. the thumbs of their hands and of their
      feet.
      This was not an unusual act of cruelty in ancient times
      towards enemies.--'lian informs us, that in after ages "the
      Athenians, at the instigation of Cleon, son of Cleoenetus,
      made a decree that all the inhabitants of the island of 'gina
      should have the thumb cut off from the right hand, so that
      they might ever after be disabled from holding a spear, yet
      might handle an oar."  It was a custom among those Romans who
      did not like a military life, to cut off their thumbs, that
      they might be incapable of serving in the army; and for the
      same reason, parents sometimes cut off the thumbs of their
      children.

      The whole of this account is found in Jos 15:13-19, and seems

       * Jos 15:16,17 1Sa 17:25; 18:23
    - to him.
      In ancient times fathers assumed an absolute right over their

      was customary for a king or great man to promise his daughter
      in marriage to him who should take a city, etc.

    VERSE 18 
     - Also Judah.
      There is the following remarkable variation here in the
      Septuagint:  [Kai ouk ekl‚ronom‚sen Ioudas t‚n Gazan, oude ta
      horia aut‚s; oude t‚n Askal˘na, oude ta horia aut‚s; kai t‚n
      Akkar˘n, oude ta horia aut‚s; t‚n Az˘ton, oude ta perisporia
      aut‚s.]  "But Judah did not possess Gaza, nor the coasts
      thereof; nor Askelon, nor the coasts thereof; nor Ekron, nor
      the coasts thereof; nor Ashdod, nor the coasts thereof."
      Procopius and Augustine read the same; and Josephus (Ant. 1.
      v. c. 2) says that the Israelites only took Askelon and
      Ashdod, but not Gaza or Ekron; and from ch. 3 3:3, and the whole
      succeeding history, it appears that these cities were not in
      the possession of the Israelites, but of the Philistines.

    - he drave, etc.  or he possessed the mountain.  but could.
      Not because the iron chariots were too strong for Omnipotence,
      or because he refused to help them; but because their courage
      and faith failed when they saw them.
