SEV Biblia, Chapter 11:15
diciéndole: Jefté ha dicho así: Israel no tomó tierra de Moab, ni tierra de los hijos de Amón;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Judges 11:23
Verse 23. The Lord God of Israel hath dispossessed the Amorites] Jephthah shows that the Israelites did not take the land of the Moabites or Ammonites, but that of the Amorites, which they had conquered from Sihon their king, who had, without cause or provocation, attacked them; and although the Amorites had taken the lands in question from the Ammonites, yet the title by which Israel held them was good, because they took them not from the Ammonites, but conquered them from the Amorites. So now the Lord-hath dispossessed the Amorites. - The circumstances in which the Israelites were when they were attacked by the Amorites, plainly proved, that, unless Jehovah had helped them, they must have been overcome. God defeated the Amorites, and made a grant of their lands to the Israelites; and they had, in consequence, possessed them for three hundred years, ver. 26.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 15. And said unto him , etc.] By his messengers: thus saith Jephthah ; in a majestic style, as governor of Israel: Israel took not away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon ; they were charged not to take any, nor did they take any that belonged to any of these countries, or that was then in the possession of either of them, ( Deuteronomy 2:9,19) what they did take was in the hands of Sihon and Og, and they had obtained it by conquest, and so no more belonging to either of these.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 12-28 - One instance of the honour and respect we owe to God, as our God, is rightly to employ what he gives us to possess. Receive it from him, us it for him, and part with it when he calls for it. The whole of thi message shows that Jephthah was well acquainted with the books of Moses. His argument was clear, and his demand reasonable. Those wh possess the most courageous faith, will be the most disposed for peace and the readiest to make advances to obtain; but rapacity and ambitio often cloak their designs under a plea of equity, and render peacefu endeavours of no avail.
