How preachers through history handled this text

5 public-domain excerpts on Judges 10, from the church fathers to the Puritans.

Matthew Henry 4 John Wesley 1

“God is able to multiply men's punishments according to the numbers of their sins and idols. But there is hope when sinners cry to the Lord for help, and lament their ungodliness as well as their more open transgressions. It is necessary, in true repentance, that there be a full conviction that those things cannot help us which we have set in competition with God. They acknowledged what they deserved, yet prayed to God not to deal with them according to their deserts. We must submit to God's justice, with a hope in his mercy. …”

— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Judges 10:10–30 (Public Domain)
