Judges 18:9 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Are ye still, Heb. silent ? Silence is oft put for stillness or cessation from action or motion, as Exodus 14:14 Isaiah 62:1 Lamentations 2:18. For they do not accuse them for want of speaking, for that they did; but for want of doing, and putting their words and resolves into execution.

Judges 18:9

9 And they said, Arise, that we may go up against them: for we have seen the land, and, behold, it is very good: and are ye still? be not slothful to go, and to enter to possess the land.
