On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

And these things which happened to them are written for our instruction in our spiritual journey and warfare. The Israelites Murmur for Water. 1 And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of the L ORD , and pitched in Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to drink.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

The presence and power of Jehovah were the banner under which they enlisted, by which they were animated and kept together, and therefore which they erected in the day of their triumph. In the name of our God we must always lift up our banners, Ps. xx. It is fit that he who does all the work should have all the praise.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Write this for a memorial--If the bloody character of this statute seems to be at variance with the mild and merciful character of God, the reasons are to be sought in the deep and implacable vengeance they meditated against Israel (Ps 83:4).
