SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:21
Y todo el pueblo se volvió en paz al campamento a Josué en Maceda; que no hubo quien moviese su lengua contra los hijos de Israel.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Joshua 10:21
Verse 21. None moved his tongue] The whole transaction of this important day had been carried on so evidently under the direction of God that there was not the least murmuring, nor cause for it, among them, for their enemies were all discomfited. There is an expression similar to this, Exod. xi. 7, on which the reader is requested to consult the note.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 21. And all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace , etc.] Sound and well, as not one killed or missing, so not one wounded, as the Vulgate Latin version, “sound and in full number:” none moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel ; as to curse them, reproach them, and speak ill of them, for invading them, and using them in the manner they did, such was the terror that was upon them. It may be supplied, “not a dog moved” his tongue, as in ( Exodus 11:7); as it was with them when they came out of Egypt, so it was when they entered the land of Canaan. It seems to be a proverbial expression, as Ben Gersom observes, signifying that no harm was done to them by word or deed.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 15-27 - None moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel. This show their perfect safety. The kings were called to an account, as rebel against the Israel of God. Refuges of lies will but secure for God' judgment. God punished the abominable wickedness of these kings, the measure of whose iniquity was now full. And by this public act of justice, done upon these ringleaders of the Canaanites in sin, he woul possess his people with the greater dread and detestation of the sin of the nations that God cast out from before them. Here is a type an figure of Christ's victories over the powers of darkness, and of believers' victories through him. In our spiritual conflicts we mus not be satisfied with obtaining some important victory. We must pursu our scattered enemies, searching out the remains of sin as they rise u in our hearts, and thus pursue the conquest. In so doing, the Lord wil afford light until the warfare be accomplished.
