John Trapp Complete Commentary

Judges 2:15

Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD had said, and as the LORD had sworn unto them: and they were greatly distressed.

Ver. 15. As the Lord had said, and as the Lord had sworn.] But they would never believe till they felt, as holding all to be spoken in terrorem only to frighten silly people, or putting off all with a "God forbid," as those in Luke 20:16; but execution followeth commination, unless repentance interpose and take up the quarrel.

And they were greatly distressed.] See Zephaniah 3:5. See Trapp on " Zep 3:5 "
