Contextual Overview

40How often do they provoke Him in the wilderness, || Grieve Him in the desolate place? 41Indeed, they turn back, and try God, || And have limited the Holy One of Israel. 42They have not remembered His hand || The day He ransomed them from the adversary. 43When He set His signs in Egypt, || And His wonders in the field of Zoan, 44And He turns their streams to blood, || And they do not drink their floods. 45He sends among them the beetle, and it consumes them, || And the frog, and it destroys them, 46And gives their increase to the caterpillar, || And their labor to the locust. 47He destroys their vine with hail, || And their sycamores with frost, 48And delivers their beasts up to the hail, || And their livestock to the burning flames. 49He sends on them the fury of His anger, || Wrath, and indignation, and distress—A discharge of evil messengers.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

He gave his people over also to the sword,.... To those that kill with the sword, as the Targum; that is, to the Philistines, when there fell of them thirty thousand men at once, 1 Samuel 4:10

and was wroth with his inheritance; and the above showed that he was, though they were his inheritance, his portion and possession, and he had chosen them for it, Psalms 33:12.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

He gave his people over also unto the sword - When the ark was taken, 1 Samuel 4:10. Thirty thousand of the children of Israel fell on that occasion.

And was wroth with his inheritance - Was angry with his people, considered as his inheritance; that is, considered as his own special people, or his possession.
