Gill's Notes on the Bible

And I sent the hornet before you,.... Of which

:-;

which drave them out from before you, [even] the two kings of the Amorites; who were Sihon and Og, and not only them, and the Amorites under them, but the other nations, Hivites, Hittites, c.

[but] not with thy sword, nor with thy bow but by insects of the Lord's sending to them, which, as Kimchi says, so blinded their eyes, that they could not see to fight, and so Israel came upon them, and slew them; in which the hand of the Lord was manifestly seen, and to whose power, and not, their own, the destruction of their enemies was to be ascribed.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Joshua 24:12. I sent the hornet before youExodus 23:28.
