On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

We are apt to say, "If such a method had been taken, such an instrument employed, we should soon have subdued our enemies:" but we mistake; if we had hearkened to God, and kept to our duty, the thing would have been done, but it is sin that makes our troubles long and salvation slow. And this is that which God himself complains of, and wishes it had been otherwise.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan
