Judges 11:3
_ _ Jephthah ... dwelt in the land of Tob — on the north of Gilead, beyond the frontier of the Hebrew territories (2 Samuel 10:6, 2 Samuel 10:8).
_ _ there were gathered vain men to Jephthah — idle, daring, or desperate.
_ _ and went out with him — followed him as a military chief. They led a freebooting life, sustaining themselves by frequent incursions on the Ammonites and other neighboring people, in the style of Robin Hood. The same kind of life is led by many an Arab or Tartar still, who as the leader of a band, acquires fame by his stirring or gallant adventures. It is not deemed dishonorable when the expeditions are directed against those out of his own tribe or nation. Jephthah’s mode of life was similar to that of David when driven from the court of Saul. |
Judges 11:3
Of Tob — The name either of the land, or of the man who was the owner or ruler of it. This place was in, or near Gilead, as appears by the speedy intercourse which here was between Jephthah and the Israelites. Vain men — Idle persons, who desired rather to get their living by spoil and rapine, than by honest labour. These evil persons Jephthah managed well, employing them against the enemies of God, and of Israel, that bordered upon them; and particularly upon parties of the Ammonites, which made the Israelites more forward to chuse him for their chieftain in this war. Went out — When he made excursions and attempts upon the enemy. |
Judges 11:3
Then Jephthah fled from his brethren, and dwelt in the land of (b) Tob: and there were gathered vain men to Jephthah, and (c) went out with him.
(b) Where the governor of the country was called Tob.
(c) Joined with him, as some think, against his brethren. |

- Tob:
- Probably the same as Ish-Tob; and appears to have been a part of Syria, near Zobah, Rehob, and Maachah, east of Jordan, and in the most northern part of the portion of Manasseh. If so, it could not be far from Gilead, the country of Jephthah. This country is called Tobie or Tubin, 1 Maccabees 5:13; and the Jews who inhabited this district Tubieni, 2 Maccabees 12:17;
2 Samuel 10:6 And when the children of Ammon saw that they stank before David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Bethrehob, and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and of king Maacah a thousand men, and of Ishtob twelve thousand men.
