Judges 5:23

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge · Canne, Browne, Blayney, Scott, and others · Public Domain

Curse ye: 1 Samuel 26:19; Jeremiah 48:10; 1 Corinthians 16:22

Meroz: This city of Meroz seems to have been, at this time, a place of considerable importance, since something great was expected from it; but probably, after the angel of the Lord had pronounced this curse, it dwindled and like the fig-tree which Christ cursed, withered away; so that we never read of it after this in Scripture.

the angel: Judges 2:1, Judges 4:6, Judges 6:11, Judges 13:3; Matthew 25:41

they came: Judges 21:9-10; Nehemiah 3:5

to the help: 1 Samuel 17:47, 1 Samuel 18:17, 1 Samuel 25:28; Romans 15:18; 1 Corinthians 3:9; 2 Corinthians 6:1
