Micah 6:5
_ _ what Balak ... consulted — how Balak plotted to destroy thee by getting Balaam to curse thee (Numbers 22:5).
_ _ what Balaam ... answered — how the avaricious prophet was constrained against his own will, to bless Israel whom he had desired to curse for the sake of Balak’s reward (Numbers 24:9-11) [Maurer]. Grotius explains it, “how Balaam answered, that the only way to injure thee was by tempting thee to idolatry and whoredom” (Numbers 31:16). The mention of “Shittim” agrees with this: as it was the scene of Israel’s sin (Numbers 25:1-5; 2 Peter 2:15; Revelation 2:14).
_ _ from Shittim unto Gilgal — not that Balaam accompanied Israel from Shittim to Gilgal: for he was slain in Midian (Numbers 31:8). But the clause, “from Shittim,” alone applies to Balaam. “Remember” God’s kindnesses “from Shittim,” the scene of Balaam’s wicked counsel taking effect in Israel’s sin, whereby Israel merited utter destruction but for God’s sparing mercy, “to Gilgal,” the place of Israel’s first encampment in the promised land between Jericho and Jordan, where God renewed the covenant with Israel by circumcision (Joshua 5:2-11).
_ _ know the righteousness — Recognize that, so far from God having treated thee harshly (Micah 6:3), His dealings have been kindness itself (so “righteous acts” for gracious, Judges 5:11; Psalms 24:5, Psalms 112:9). |
Micah 6:5
Shittim — This is the place where Balak began by the women of Midian to debauch Israel as Baalim had counselled, and so continued to do, even to Gilgal, all along the borders of his dominion. The righteousness — His mercy, justice and veracity. |
Micah 6:5
O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab consulted, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from (c) Shittim unto Gilgal; that ye may know the (d) righteousness of the LORD.
(c) That is, remember my benefits from the beginning, how I delivered you from Balaam's curse, and also spared you from Shittim which was in the plain of Moab, until I brought you into the promised land.
(d) That is, the truth of his promise and his manifold benefits toward you. |
