Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Joshua 15:16-20.


Joshua 15:18-19

_ _ as she came unto him — that is, when about to remove from her father’s to her husband’s house. She suddenly alighted from her travelling equipage — a mark of respect to her father, and a sign of making some request. She had urged Othniel to broach the matter, but he not wishing to do what appeared like evincing a grasping disposition, she resolved herself to speak out. Taking advantage of the parting scene when a parent’s heart was likely to be tender, she begged (as her marriage portion consisted of a field which, having a southern exposure, was comparatively an arid and barren waste) he would add the adjoining one, which abounded in excellent springs. The request being reasonable, it was granted; and the story conveys this important lesson in religion, that if earthly parents are ready to bestow on their children that which is good, much more will our heavenly Father give every necessary blessing to them who ask Him.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Joshua 15:13-19.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Joshua 15:18

As she came — Or, as she went, namely, from her father's house to her husband's, as the manner was. She moved him — She persuaded her husband, either, That he would ask: or rather, That he would suffer her to ask, as she did. She lighted — That she might address herself to her father in an humble posture, and as a suppliant, which he understood by her gesture.
