Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Deuteronomy 20:2-4.


Deuteronomy 20:4

_ _ your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you — According to Jewish writers, the ark was always taken into the field of combat. But there is no evidence of this in the sacred history; and it must have been a sufficient ground of encouragement to be assured that God was on their side.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Deuteronomy 20:1-9.
