Judges 1:17

Adam Clarke
Bible Commentary

The city was called Hormah - This appears to be the same transaction mentioned Numbers 21:1; (note), etc., where see the notes.

Albert Barnes
Notes on the Whole Bible

Hormah - See Numbers 21:1 note. The destruction then vowed was now accomplished. This is another decisive indication that the events here related belong to Joshua‘s lifetime. This would be about six years after the vow.

Matthew Henry
Concise Bible Commentary
The Canaanites had iron chariots; but Israel had God on their side, whose chariots are thousands of angels, Ps 68:17. Yet they suffered their fears to prevail against their faith. About Caleb we read in Jos 15:16-19. The Kenites had settled in the land. Israel let them fix where they pleased, being a quiet, contented people. They that molested none, were molested by none. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
