SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:14
Y fueron restituidas a los hijos de Israel las ciudades que los filisteos habían tomado a los israelitas, desde Ecrón hasta Gat, con sus términos; e Israel las libró de mano de los filisteos. Y hubo paz entre Israel y el amorreo.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 7:14
Verse 14. The cities which the Philistines had taken] We are not informed of the particulars of these reprisals, but we may rest assured all this was not done in one day: perhaps the retaking of the cities was by slow degrees, through the space of several years. There was peace between Israel and the Amorites.] That is, all the remaining Canaanites kept quiet, and did not attempt to molest the Israelites, when they found the Philistines, the most powerful of the ancient inhabitants of the land, broken and subdued before them.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 14. And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel , etc.] We nowhere read that the Israelites went out to war with them, and took these cities from them by besieging and assaulting them; but they made a demand of them after the above victory obtained, by which the Philistines were so intimidated, that they quietly surrendered them to them: from Ekron even unto Gath, and the coasts thereof, did Israel deliver out of the hands of the Philistines ; not by dint of sword, but by demand, to which they submitted; and though Ekron, if not Gath, fell to the tribe of Judah by lot, yet were never in their possession; and so are to be understood exclusively here, that not they, but the cities and towns that lay between them and the coasts thereof, which the Philistines had seized upon, these they were obliged to deliver up again to Israel; and if Ekron and Gath were delivered, they were not long held by them, for we soon read of them as in the hands of others: and there was peace between Israel and the Amorites ; who were a principal nation of the Canaanites, and are put for the whole of them that remained; and so Josephus calls them the remnant of the Canaanites; these, finding the Philistines were subdued, were quiet and peaceable, and gave Israel no more trouble.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 13-17 - In this great revival of true religion, the ark was neither removed to Shiloh, nor placed with the tabernacle any where else. This disregar to the Levitical institutions showed that their typical meaning forme their chief use; and when that was overlooked, they became a lifeles service, not to be compared with repentance, faith, and the love of God and man __________________________________________________________________
