On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

We find how this tribe was enlarged by their success in a war which it seems they carried on very religiously against the Hagarites, 1 Chron. v. 19, 20, 22 . Note, God is to have the glory of all our enlargements.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

This was one of the tribes that was already seated on that side Jordan where Moses now was.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Enlargeth - That bringeth him out of his straits amid troubles, which he was often engaged in, because he was encompassed with potent enemies. As a lion - Safe and secure from his enemies, and terrible to them when they rouse and molest him.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical
