SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:17
Y juntándose los hijos de Amón, asentaron campamento en Galaad; se juntaron asimismo los hijos de Israel, y asentaron su campamento en Mizpa.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Judges 10:17
Verse 17. The children of Ammon were gathered together] Literally, they cried against Israel-they sent out criers in different directions to stir up all the enemies of Israel; and when they had made a mighty collection, they encamped in Gilead.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 17. Then the children of Ammon were gathered together , etc.] By a crier, as Jarchi; they had passed over Jordan, as in ( Judges 10:9) and had been distressing three of the tribes of Israel on that side; but now being informed, by an herald at arms, that the children of Israel, on the other side Jordan, were risen up in defence of their country, rights, and liberties, the children of Ammon came back and crossed over Jordan again: and encamped in Gilead ; in the land of Gilead, part of which belonged to the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the other part to the half tribe of Manasseh: and the children of Israel assembled themselves together, and encamped at Mizpeh : of which name there were several cities in the land of Israel, on both sides Jordan; this must design a place on the other side Jordan, either in the tribe of Gad or Manasseh, for it seems there was of this name in each, (see Genesis 31:49 Joshua 11:3).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10-18 - God is able to multiply men's punishments according to the numbers of their sins and idols. But there is hope when sinners cry to the Lor for help, and lament their ungodliness as well as their more ope transgressions. It is necessary, in true repentance, that there be full conviction that those things cannot help us which we have set in competition with God. They acknowledged what they deserved, yet praye to God not to deal with them according to their deserts. We must submi to God's justice, with a hope in his mercy. True repentance is not onl for sin, but from sin. As the disobedience and misery of a child are grief to a tender father, so the provocations of God's people are grief to him. From him mercy never can be sought in vain. Let then the trembling sinner, and the almost despairing backslider, cease from debating about God's secret purposes, or from expecting to find hop from former experiences. Let them cast themselves on the mercy of God our Saviour, humble themselves under his hand, seek deliverance from the powers of darkness, separate themselves from sin, and from occasions of it, use the means of grace diligently, and wait the Lord' time, and so they shall certainly rejoice in his mercy __________________________________________________________________
