Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel,.... As at first, so whenever they fell into idolatry; see Judges 2:14;

and he said, because this people have transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers; made at Sinai, in which they were enjoined to have no other gods before him:

and have not hearkened to my voice; in his commands, and particularly what related to his worship and against idolatry.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

This verse is connected with Judges 2:13. The intermediate verses refer to much later times; they have the appearance of being the reflections of the compiler interspersed with the original narrative. But Judges 2:20 catches up the thread only to let it fall immediately. All that follows, down to the end of Judges 3:7, seems to be another digression, closing with words like those of Judges 2:13.

It does not appear how this message was given to Israel, whether by Angel, or prophet, or Urim, nor indeed is it certain whether any message was given. The words may be understood as merely explaining what passed through the divine mind, and expressing the thoughts which regulated the divine proceeding.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Judges 2:20. The anger of the Lord was hot — They were as fuel by their transgressions; and the displeasure of the Lord was as a fire about to kindle and consume that fuel.
