Joshua 6:2 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Reader! I beg of you to remark with me, that this is the same person spoken of in the preceding chapter, as captain of the Lord's host: for, certainly as there is no interruption in the history from what went before this is the beginning of the discourse, in opening the cause for which the captain of the Lord's host, appeared unto Joshua. I need not, I should hope, remind the Reader, that He which was called the captain of the Lord's host in that chapter, is in this said to be Jehovah. A plain proof that Jesus is Jehovah; One with the Father, over all, God blessed forever. Romans 9:5. I desire the Reader to observe the Lord's expression, I have given: that is, the thing is as good as done that God appoints. We have a similar expression concerning the intercession of the Lord Jesus for Peter before his fall, which furnisheth, as in this instance, a sweet thought for faith to feed upon. Luke 22:31-32.
