Judges 11:24

Judges 11:24

22 They took possession of ^aall the territory of the Amorites, from the Arnon to the Jabbok and from the wilderness to the Jordan.

23 ‘And now the Lord God of Israel has¹ dispossessed the Amorites from before His people Israel; should you then possess it?

24 Will you not possess whatever ^aChemosh your god gives you to possess? So whatever ^bthe Lord our God takes possession of before us, we will possess.

25 And now, are you any better than ^aBalak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he ever strive against Israel? Did he ever fight against them?

26 While Israel dwelt in ^aHeshbon and its villages, in ^bAroer and its villages, and in all the cities along the banks of the Arnon, for three hundred years, why did you not recover them within that time?

Judges 11:25 >>

Wilt not thou - He speaks according to their absurd opinion: the Ammonites and Moabites got their land by conquest of the old inhabitants, whom they cast out; and this success, though given them by the true God, for Lot's sake, Deuteronomy 2:9, Deuteronomy 2:19, they impiously ascribe to their god Chemosh, whose gift they owned to be a sufficient title.
