Commentary
3 notes on this verseThe land had rest fourscore years - This is usually reckoned from the deliverance under Othniel, that being a term from which they dated every transaction, as in other cases they dated from the exodus, from the building of Solomon’s temple, etc., and as other nations did from particular events: the Romans, from the building of the city; the Mohammedans, from the Hijreh, or flight of Mohammed to Medina; the Christians, from the birth of Christ, etc., etc. But see the preface, and the different chronological schemes there mentioned.
This site's exposition
they slew of Moab at that time
on Judges 3:29-30
Ten thousand men, all lusty and all men of valour, and there escaped not a man, which is what the seized crossings made possible. Fourscore years is the longest rest recorded in the book, twice the forty given to Othniel, and it is the second of the three times the formula falls. The figures fall from here, since Deborah's rest is forty years at 5:31 and no rest at all is recorded after her.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
Fourscore years - Chiefly that part of it which lay east of Jordan: for the other side of the country, which lay southwest, was even then infested by the Philistines.
