Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

With tumult - Such as soldiers in fight or assaults make, when they carry all by force. The judge - The governor that is, every one of them. To err - Their idolatry blinded them, partly from the natural tendency of this sin, and partly from the just judgment of God.

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

Have not you yourselves been sensible of the advantage you had by the prophets and Nazarites raised up among you?" Note, Sinners' own consciences will be witnesses for God that he has not been wanting to them in the means of grace, so that, if they perish, it is because they have been wanting to themselves in not improving those means.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

God left nothing undone to secure the purity of their worship and their faithfulness to it (La 4:7). The same comes from a Hebrew root, nazar, "to set apart." Samson, Samuel, and John the Baptist were Nazarites. Is it not even thus--Will any of you dare to deny it is so?
