SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:25
Y Josué les dijo: No temáis, ni os atemoricéis; sed fuertes y valientes, porque así hará el SEÑOR a todos vuestros enemigos contra los cuales peleáis.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 25. And Joshua said, rest not, nor be dismayed , etc.] Not meaning at the kings, who perhaps lay bound upon the ground, or however were not in a condition to make any resistance, so that they had nothing to fear from them; but this respects future time, and what other enemies they should meet with; who would be brought into subjection to them as these were, and therefore from hence should take heart: be strong, and of good courage ; and go on valiantly in subduing the rest of their enemies, and not be afraid of them: for thus shall the Lord do to all your enemies against whom ye fight ; put them into their hands, and give them power to tread on their necks: this shows that what Joshua did, or ordered to be done, was of the Lord.
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.
