Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 25. - The Spirit of the Lord, etc. See Judges 3:10, note. To move him - to urge and impel him to strange actions by fits and starts. It is an uncommon expression. In Genesis 41:8 the passive of the verb means to be troubled or agitated, and the substantive is the common word for a time in the phrases time after time, twice, thrice (according to the number specified), other times, etc.; also a footstep; and its derivatives mean an anvil, a bell. The idea is that of sudden, single impulses, such as are described in the following chapters. In the camp of Dan, or, as in Judges 18:12, Mahaneh-Dan, where the reason of the name is explained. For Zorah see ver. 2, note. Eshtaol has not hitherto been identified with any existing place, but it ought to lie east or north of Mahaneh-Dan, since this last was between Zorah and Eshtaol (see note on Judges 18:12). Kustul, a conical hill one hour west of Jerusalem, has been suggested.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(25) The Spirit of the Lord.--Judges 3:10. The Targum of Jonathan paraphrases it rightly, "The spirit of courage from Jehovah." Amos (Amos 2:11) ranks Nazarites with prophets. "Different as may be their mode of action, they agree in a belief, which strings up every power to its highest tension, that they are Jehovah's very own, consecrated to Him by a wholly special calling" (Ewald).Began to move him.--Literally, to agitate or thrust him (paham, Genesis 41:8; Daniel 2:1). The word implies vehement and overwhelming impulses to noble deeds ("fing an ihn zu treiben," Luther), which, however, only came over him "at times" (Judges 14:6; Judges 15:14; Judges 16:20). The LXX. rendering, "to go with him," comes from a wrong reading. . . .
