SEV Biblia, Chapter 12:14
Este tuvo cuarenta hijos y treinta nietos, que cabalgaban sobre setenta asnos; y juzgó a Israel ocho años.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 14. And he had forty sons, and thirty nephews , etc.] Or sons’ sons, that is, grandsons; so that he lived not only to see his sons married, but his grandchildren grown up to men’s estate; since it follows, that rode on seventy ass colts ; who were either employed by him to ride about on these animals, which in those times were honourable; (see Judges 5:10) to administer justice throughout the nation in their circuits; or rather, not following any trade, or being concerned in husbandry, or feeding cattle, but being men of estates, rode about like gentlemen: and he judged Israel eight years ; in his time it is said the city of Troy was destroyed; so Eusebius f259 , who calls this judge Labdon, though he elsewhere places it in the times of Eli; (see Gill on “ Judges 12:9”).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 8-15 - We have here a short account of three more of the judges of Israel. The happiest life of individuals, and the happiest state of society, in that which affords the fewest remarkable events. To live in credit an quiet, to be peacefully useful to those around us, to possess a clea conscience; but, above all, and without which nothing can avail, to enjoy communion with God our Saviour while we live, and to die at peac with God and man, form the substance of all that a wise man can desire __________________________________________________________________
