Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(34) The Amorites.--They were the Highlanders of Palestine (Joshua 10:6; Numbers 13:29; Deuteronomy 1:44).Forced.--Literally "squeezed" or "pressed."Forced the children of Dan into the mountain.--The condition of this tribe was, therefore, the worst of all. So far from reducing under tribute the Canaanites of its assigned possession, as the central tribes did, the Danites did not even succeed in establishing a tolerated neutrality among them, like the northern tribes, but were driven into a few mountain-strongholds. It was probably this failure, and the consequent pressure of space under which the tribe laboured, which induced them to undertake the successful northern expedition alluded to in Joshua 19:47 and described in Judges 18Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewThe Amoritesהָאֱמֹרִ֛י (hā·’ĕ·mō·rî)Article | Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 567: Amorites -- perhaps 'mountain dwellers', a Canaanite tribeforcedוַיִּלְחֲצ֧וּ (way·yil·ḥă·ṣū)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine pluralStrong's 3905: To squeeze, press, oppressthe Danitesבְּנֵי־ (bə·nê-)Noun - masculine plural constructStrong's 1121: A soninto the hill countryהָהָ֑רָה (hā·hā·rāh)Article | Noun - masculine singular | third person feminine singularStrong's 2022: Mountain, hill, hill countryandכִּי־ (kî-)ConjunctionStrong's 3588: A relative conjunctiondid notלֹ֥א (lō)Adverb - Negative particleStrong's 3808: Not, noallowנְתָנ֖וֹ (nə·ṯā·nōw)Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singular | third person masculine singularStrong's 5414: To give, put, setthem to come downלָרֶ֥דֶת (lā·re·ḏeṯ)Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Infinitive constructStrong's 3381: To come or go down, descendinto the plain.לָעֵֽמֶק׃ (lā·‘ê·meq)Preposition-l, Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 6010: A valeJump to PreviousAllow Allowing Amorites Children Confined Country Dan Danites Hill Hill-Country Mountain Plain Press Pressed Suffer Suffered Valley
