Contextual Overview

9The archers of Ephraim turned back on the day of battle. 10They failed to keep God's covenant and refused to live by His law. 11They forgot what He had done, the wonders He had shown them. 12He worked wonders before their fathers in the land of Egypt, in the region of Zoan. 13He split the sea and brought them through; He set the waters upright like a wall. 14He led them with a cloud by day and with a light of fire all night. 15He split the rocks in the wilderness and gave them drink as abundant as the seas. 16He brought streams from the stone and made water flow down like rivers.17But they continued to sin against Him, rebelling in the desert against the Most High. 18They willfully tested God by demanding the food they craved.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

He brought streams also out of the rock,.... Which is expressed in the singular number, as also in Psalms 78:20, because the children of Israel were not come to Kadesh, and the second rock was not smitten when they lusted after flesh, and murmured against God, and tempted him, as is after related:

and caused waters to run down like rivers; from the descent of the rock, which followed them all the way in the wilderness; this was a most marvellous thing, that water should flow from a flinty rock upon striking it, from whence fire rather than water might have been expected; and that it should flow in such great abundance, and that from a rock in a wilderness.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

He brought streams also out of the rock ... - literally, “flowings.” The waters were poured out in an over-flowing stream. Those streams continued to flow, thus constituting a continued proof of the presence of God. See this fully explained in the notes at 1 Corinthians 10:4.
