SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:34
Los amorreos apretaron a los hijos de Dan hasta el monte; que no los dejaron descender a la campiña.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Judges 1:34
Verse 34. The Amorites forced the children of Dan, &c.] Just as the ancient Britons were driven into the mountains of Wales by the Romans; and the native Indians driven back into the woods by the British settlers in America.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 34. And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the mountain , etc.] Into the mountainous part of the tribe of Dan; the most noted mountains in it were Sear and Baalah, which lay on the border of Judah, ( Joshua 15:10,11); Joppa in this tribe was built on an high rock, and so Gibbethon, as its name seems to import, perhaps was built on a hill or mountain, as were the cities after mentioned: for they would not suffer them to come down to the valley ; which lay between Joppa and Caesarea, the plain of Sharon, in which were Lydda, Jamnia, etc. which belonged to their tribe, and they afterwards enjoyed; (see Gill on “ Joshua 19:48”).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 21-36 - The people of Israel were very careless of their duty and interest Owing to slothfulness and cowardice, they would not be at the pains to complete their conquests. It was also owing to their covetousness: the were willing to let the Canaanites live among them, that they migh make advantage of them. They had not the dread and detestation of idolatry they ought to have had. The same unbelief that kept their fathers forty years out of Canaan, kept them now out of the ful possession of it. Distrust of the power and promise of God deprive them of advantages, and brought them into troubles. Thus many believer who begins well is hindered. His graces languish, his lust revive, Satan plies him with suitable temptations, the world recover its hold; he brings guilt into his conscience, anguish into his heart discredit on his character, and reproach on the gospel. Though he ma have sharp rebukes, and be so recovered that he does not perish, yet he will have deeply to lament his folly through his remaining days; an upon his dying bed to mourn over the opportunities of glorifying God and serving the church he has lost. We can have no fellowship with the enemies of God within us or around us, but to our hurt; therefore ou only wisdom is to maintain unceasing war against them __________________________________________________________________
