SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:43
Porque el amalecita y el cananeo están allí delante de vosotros, y caeréis a cuchillo; pues por cuanto os habéis retraído de seguir al SEÑOR, también el SEÑOR no está con vosotros.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 43. For the Amalekites and the Canaanites [are] there before you , etc.] Having removed from the valley, ( Numbers 14:25); or else had detached a party to defend the pass on the top of the mountain, and where perhaps they designed to feign a retreat if they found it proper, and draw them into a combat in the valley: and ye shall fall by the sword : by the sword of the Amalekites and Canaanites: because ye are turned away from the Lord : from the word of the Lord, from hearkening to and obeying his command: therefore the Lord will not be with you ; the consequence of which must be bad for them.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 40-45 - Some of the Israelites were now earnest to go forward toward Canaan But it came too late. If men would but be as earnest for heaven whil their day of grace lasts, as they will be when it is over, how wel would it be for them! That which has been duty in its season, when mistimed, may be turned into sin. Those who are out of the way of their duty, are not under God's protection, and go at their peril. God bad them go, and they would not; he forbade them, and they would go. Thu is the carnal mind enmity against God. They had distrusted God' strength; they now presume upon their own without his. And the expedition fails accordingly; now the sentence began to be executed that their carcases should fall in the wilderness. That affair can never end well, which begins with sin. The way to obtain peace with ou friends, and success against our enemies, is, to have God, as ou Friend, and to keep in his love. Let us take warning from the fate of Israel, lest we perish after the same example of unbelief. Let us go forth, depending on God's mercy, power, promise, and truth; he will be with us, and bring our souls to everlasting rest __________________________________________________________________
