Commentary

Then the children of Israel did put away Baalim and Ashtaroth,.... Both their male and fema le deities, of which see Jdg 2:13 . and served the Lord Only; Dr. Lightfoot (i) observes, that a spirit of repentance and conversion came generally upon all the people; a matter and a time as remarkable as almost any we read of in Scripture, one only parallel to it; and that is in Acts, chapters two and three, at the great conversion there. (i) Works, vol. 1. p. 54.
