Giudici 2:17

La Nuova Diodati

Purtroppo essi non davano ascolto neppure ai loro giudici, ma si prostituivano ad altri di e si prostravano davanti a loro. Abbandonarono ben presto la via seguita dai loro padri, i quali avevano ubbidito ai comandamenti dellEterno; essi per non fecero cos.

Riveduta Bibbia
Ma neppure ai loro giudici davano ascolto, poiché si prostituivano ad altri dèi, e si prostravan dinanzi a loro. E abbandonarono ben presto la via battuta dai loro padri, i quali aveano ubbidito ai comandamenti dell’Eterno; ma essi non fecero così.

Giovanni Diodati Bibbia
Ma non pure a’ lor Giudici ubbidivano; anzi andavano fornicando dietro ad altri dii, e li adoravano; subito si rivolgevano dalla via, per la quale erano camminati i lor padri, ubbidendo a’ comandamenti del Signore; essi non facevano già così.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And yet they would not hearken unto their judges,.... Afterwards, or not always; but when they admonished them of their sins, and advised them to walk in the good ways of God, and serve him only; they turned a deaf ear to them, and went on in their own ways, which is a sad aggravation of their iniquities:

but they went a whoring after their gods, and bowed themselves unto them; committing spiritual adultery, for such idolatry is, and is often so represented in Scripture; for by it they broke the covenant God made with them, which had the nature of a matrimonial contract, and in which God was an husband to them; and therefore serving other gods was rejecting him as such, and committing whoredom with others; than which nothing was more provoking to God, jealous of his honour and glory:

they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in; as soon as ever Joshua and the elders were dead, they departed from the God of their fathers, and the way in which they worshipped him; and so likewise quickly after they had been delivered by the judges, or however as soon as they were dead:

obeying the commandments of the Lord; serving him at his tabernacle, according to the laws, commands, and ordinances he gave to Moses, which is to be understood of their fathers:

[but] they did not so; did not walk in the same way, nor serve the Lord, and obey his commands, as their fathers did; but all the reverse.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Judges 2:17. Went a whoring after other gods — Idolatry, or the worship of strange gods, is frequently termed adultery, fornication, and whoredom, in the sacred writings. As many of their idolatrous practices were accompanied with impure rites, the term was not only metaphorically but literally proper.
