Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

Remembered not the Lord their God - They attributed their deliverance to some other cause, and did not give him the glory of their salvation.

And the children of Israel remembered not the Lord their God,.... Or, as the Targum, the worship of the Lord their God; they forgot him, and forsook him, which showed base ingratitude:
who had delivered them out of the hands of their enemies on every side; not only out of the hands of Midian, but all other nations round about them, as Edom, Moab, Ammon, &c. not one attempting to oppress them.
