Dimisitque eos, et perrexerunt ad locum insidiarum, sederuntque inter Bethel et Hai, ad occidentalem plagam urbis Hai : Josue autem nocte illa in medio mansit populi,
Dixit itaque et eis: Cum reversus fuero victor in pace, destruam turrim hanc.
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
I come: 1 Kings 22:27, 1 Kings 22:28
I will break: Judges 8:17
Gill's Notes on the Bible
Ver. 9 And he spoke also unto the men of Penuel,.... In a threatening way, as he had spoken to the men of Succoth: saying, when I come again in peace: having conquered all his enemies, and delivered Israel from their bondage, and restored peace and prosperity to them, of which he had no doubt:
I will break down this tower; pointing to it and which stood in their city, and in which they placed their confidence; and when he threatened them, boasted of it as their security.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Judges 8:9. I will break down this tower. — Probably they had not only denied him, but insultingly pointed to a tower in which their chief defense lay; and intimated to him that he might do his worst, for they could amply defend themselves.
