Psalms 83:9 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:

Do unto them as unto the Midianites - overthrown by mutual destruction, Gideon leading 300 men of Israel (Judges 7:22: cf. on a different occasion 1 Samuel 14:20). This was the very way whereby God destroyed Jehoshaphat's foes in answer to the prayer here (2 Chronicles 20:22-23). The utter discomfiture of Midian is made by the prophets the earnest of the final overthrow of the last enemies of God and His people (note, Isaiah 9:4-5; Habakkuk 3:7; Isaiah 10:26).

As to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison - (Judges 4:7; Judges 4:13; Judges 4:15; Judges 4:24; Judges 5:21.)
