Summary

Israel's sin was renewed, and Israel's troubles were repeated. Let all that sin expect to suffer.

Reflection

The invaders left no food for Israel, except what was taken into the caves. They prepared that for Baal with which God should have been served, now God justly sends

an enemy to take it away in the season thereof.WHBC 218.2

Israel's sin was renewed, and Israel's troubles were repeated. Let all that sin expect to suffer. The Israelites hid themselves in dens and caves; such was the effect of a

guilty conscience. Sin dispirits men. The invaders left no food for Israel, except what was taken into the caves. They prepared that for Baal with which God should have been served, now God justly sends an enemy to take it away in the season thereof.WHBC 218.2
