Psalms 106:41
He delivered them into the hand of the nations, and those who hated them ruled over them.
BSB
ASV
And he gave them into the hand of the nations; And they that hated them ruled over them.
KJV
And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
And he gave them into the hand of the Heathen,.... In the times of the judges; as into the hands of the Mesopotamians, Moabites, Canaanites, Midianites, and Philistines, to whom they became tributaries; see the book of Judges. And they that hated them ruled over them; as it was threatened and foretold they should, in case they did not observe the law of God, Lev 26:17.
Observe here how the punishment answered to the sin: They mingled with the heathen and learned their works; from them they willingly took the infection of sin, and therefore God justly made use of them as the instruments of their correction. Sinners often see themselves ruined by those by whom they have suffered themselves to be debauched.
