VERSE 7 
 - betrothed a wife.
  It was customary among the Jews to contract matrimony,
  espouse, or betroth, and for a considerable time to leave the
  parties in the houses of the respective parents; and when the
  bridegroom had made proper preparations, then the bride was
  brought home to his house, and the marriage consummated.  The
  provisions in this verse refer to a case of this kind; though
  the Jews extend it to him who had newly consummated his
  marriage, and even to him who had married his brother's wife.
  It was deemed a peculiar hardship for a person to be obliged
  to go to battle, who had left a house unfinished, newly
  purchased land half tilled, or a wife with whom he had just
  contracted marriage.

   * De 7:1

VERSE 18
    * De 7:4,5; 12:30,31; 18:19 Ex 23:33 Jos 23:13 Jud 2:3 Ps 106:34-40
   * 1Co 15:33 2Co 6:17 Eph 5:11 2Th 3:14 1Ti 6:5 2Ti 2:17,18

VERSE 19 
 - thou shalt not.
   * Mt 3:10; 7:15-20; 21:19 Lu 13:7-9 Joh 15:2-8
- for the tree, etc.  or, for, O man, the tree of the field is
  to be employed in the siege.
  The original is exceedingly difficult.  The LXX. has it, "Is
  the tree in the field a man, to enter the trench before thee?"
  The Latin Vulgate:  "For it is a tree, and not a man, neither
  can it increase the number of those who war against thee;"
  Onkelos, "For the tree of the field is not as a man, that it
  should come against thee in the siege;" and to the same
  purpose the Arabic, Philo, and Josephus who say, "If trees
  could speak, they would cry out, that it is unjust that they,
  who were no cause of the war, should suffer the miseries of
  it."  However rendered, the sense is sufficiently clear:  and
  it is a merciful provision to spare all the fruit trees for
  the support of both the besieged and besiegers.

   * De 26:6
- to employ, etc.  Heb. to go from before thee.


VERSE 20 
 - thou shalt build.
   * De 1:28 2Ch 26:15 Ec 9:14 Isa 37:33 Jer 6:6; 33:4 Eze 17:17
- be subdued.  Heb. come down.
