Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per frasa)

Wesley: Jdg 10:12 - The Zidonians

We do not read of any oppression of Israel, particularly, by the Zidonians. But many things were done, which are not recorded.

Wesley: Jdg 10:12 - The Maonites

Either first, those who lived in, or near the wilderness of Maon, in the south of Judah, 1Sa 23:25, 1Sa 25:2, whether Edomites or others. Or, secondly, the Mehunims, a people living near the Arabians, of whom, 2Ch 26:7. For in the Hebrew, the letters of both names are the same, only the one is the singular, the other the plural number.

JFB: Jdg 10:12 - Maonites

That is, "Midianites."

TSK: Jdg 10:12 - Zidonians // Amalekites // the Maonites

Zidonians : Jdg 5:19-31

Amalekites : Jdg 6:3

the Maonites : The LXX have ""the Midianites,""which Dr. Wall thinks the true reading. But the Maonites might be a tribe of Arabs, inhabitants of Maon (Jos 15:55. 1Sa 23:24, 1Sa 23:25; 1Sa 25:2), which assisted Moab. 2Ch 26:6, 2Ch 26:7; Psa 106:42, Psa 106:43

Poole: Jdg 10:12 - The Zidonians also // the Amalekites // Maonites

The Zidonians also for though we do not read of any oppression of Israel, particularly, by the Zidonians, yet there might be such a thing; as many things were said and done, both in the Old and New Testament, which are not recorded there; or they might join their forces with the king of Mesopotamia, Jud 3:8 , or with some other of their oppressors; for it is certain these were left among others to prove Israel, Jud 3:1-3 . Of

the Amalekites see Jud 3:13 6:3 .

Maonites ; either, first, Those who lived in or near the wilderness of Maon, in the south of Judah, 1Sa 23:25 25:2 , whether Edomites or other. Or, secondly, The Mehunims, a people living near the Arabians, of whom 2Ch 26:7 . For in the Hebrew the letters of both names are the same, only the one is the singular, the other the plural number. Or, thirdly, The Midianites, whose oppression he would not omit; it being usual for one and the same person or persons to have two names; although the Midianites may be comprehended under the Amalekites, with whom they were joined, Jud 6:3,33 . Or, fourthly, Some other people now unknown, and not expressed elsewhere in Scripture.

Haydock: Jdg 10:12 - Chanaan

Chanaan. Hebrew, "Maon." Septuagint (Roman and Alexandrian), "Madian." The Maonites are styled Mineans by the Septuagint (1 Paralipomenon iv. 40,) and these inhabited Arabia, (Diodorus iii. 42,) and might join themselves to Madian and Amalec, in their attacks upon the Israelites. As for Chanaan, which other editions of the Septuagint retain, we know that they were domestic enemies, like thorns in the sides of Israel, Josue xxiii. 13. All the persecutions, which the Hebrews had to undergo, are not particularized in this book. (Calmet) ---

They were grievously tormented in Egypt, they had to contend with the Amorrhites at their first entrance into the land. (Haydock) ---

The Ammonites and Amalecites had assisted Eglon before, and the Philistines had attacked Samgar. The Sidonians, it seems, had also greatly molested those who lived near them, and probably were the auxiliaries of Jabin. (Calmet) ---

But the Chanaanites were ready to fall upon every weak spot, living in various parts of the country, (Haydock) and continually tempted the people of Israel to abandon the service of God. (Calmet)

Gill: Jdg 10:12 - The Zidonians also // and the Amalekites // and the Maonites did oppress you // and ye cried unto me, and I delivered you out of their hands

The Zidonians also,.... Who were left in the land to distress them, though there is no particular mention of them, and of the distress they gave them, and of their deliverance from it, which yet is not at all to be questioned:

and the Amalekites; both quickly after they came out of Egypt, Exo 17:13 and when they were come into the land of Canaan, joining the Moabites and the Midianites against them, Jdg 3:13.

and the Maonites did oppress you; meaning either the old inhabitants of Maon, a city in the mountains of Judah, near to which was a wilderness of this name, Jos 15:55 or rather a people of Arabia, called by Strabo ^z, and Diodorus Siculus ^a, Minaeans, the same with Mehunim, mentioned with the Arabians, 2Ch 26:7 and who perhaps came along with the Midianites, when they oppressed Israel; though some have thought of the old inhabitants of Bethmeon and Baalmeon, Num 32:38.

and ye cried unto me, and I delivered you out of their hands; all those mercies and deliverances are mentioned to aggravate their sins, that notwithstanding the Lord hath so often and eminently appeared for them, yet they deserted him and his worship, and fell into idolatry. Jarchi observes, that here are seven salvations or deliverances mentioned in opposition to the seven sorts of false gods or idols they had served, Jdg 10:6.
