Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Judges 8:5

_ _ he said unto the men of Succoth — that is, a place of tents or booths. The name seems to have been applied to the whole part of the Jordan valley on the west, as well as on the east side of the river, all belonging to the tribe of Gad (compare Genesis 33:17; 1 Kings 7:46; with Joshua 13:27). Being engaged in the common cause of all Israel, he had a right to expect support and encouragement from his countrymen everywhere.

Matthew Henry's Commentary
