John Gill's Bible Commentary Ver. 7. And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel , etc.] His anger burned like fire, he was exceedingly incensed against them, nothing being more provoking to him than idolatry, as after mentioned: and he sold them into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hands of the children of Ammon ; that is, delivered them into their hands, and they became subject and were in bondage to them, as such are that are sold for “slaves”; part of them, that lay to the west of the land of Israel, fell into the hands of the Philistines; and another part, which lay to the east, were oppressed by the children of Ammon, particularly those that were on the other side Jordan came into the hands of the latter.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6-9 - Now the threatening was fulfilled, that the Israelites should have n power to stand before their enemies, Le 26:17, 37. By their evil way and their evil doings they procured this to themselves.
