Gill's Notes on the Bible

Therefore thou deliveredst them into the hand of their enemies, who vexed them,.... As the kings of Mesopotamia, Moab, Canaan, and others:

and in the time of their trouble, when they cried unto thee; as they usually did, Judges 3:9,

thou heardest them from heaven; and according to thy manifold mercies thou gavest them saviours, who saved them out of the hands of their enemies; such were judges, Othniel, Ehud, Barak, Gideon, &c. and this was, done for them, not on account of their merits, but the abundant unmerited mercy of the Lord towards them.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Thou gavest them saviours - See Judges 3:15 etc.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 27. Thou gavest them saviours — The whole book of Judges is a history of God's mercies, and their rebellions.
