Gill's Notes on the Bible
And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city,.... Or one tribe of another; as the Ephraimites by the Gileadites, and the tribe of Benjamin by the other tribes; and Shechem by Abimelech, Judges 9:45,
for God did vex them with all adversity; both with foreign enemies and civil wars; and now it is intimated that this would be their case again, should they not keep close to the Lord their God.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The allusion is probably to the destructions recorded in Judges 9:45; Judges 20:33-48.
