Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Deuteronomy 20:9

_ _ they shall make captains of the armies to lead the people — When the exempted parties have withdrawn, the combatants shall be ranged in order of battle.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Deuteronomy 20:1-9.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Deuteronomy 20:9

Make captains — Or rather, as the Hebrew hath it, they shall set or place the captains of the armies in the head or front of the people under their charge, that they may conduct them, and by their example encourage their soldiers. It is not likely they had their captains to make when they were just going to battle.
