Deuteronomy 13:13 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Deuteronomy 13:13

11 So all Israel shall hear and ^afear, and not again do such wickedness as this among you.

12 ^a“If you hear someone in one of your cities, which the Lord your God gives you to dwell in, saying,

13 ¹‘Corrupt men have gone out from among you and enticed the inhabitants of their city, saying, “Let us go and serve other gods” ’—which you have not known—

14 then you shall inquire, search out, and ask diligently. And if it is indeed true and certain that such an¹ abomination was committed among you,

15 you shall surely strike the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying it, all that is in it and its livestock—with the edge of the sword.

Certain men, the children of Belial—lawless, designing demagogues (Judges 19:22; I Samuel 1:16; I Samuel 25:25), who abused their influence to withdraw the inhabitants of the city to idol-worship.
