Context of Joel 3:1
For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, 2I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will judge them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and divided my land. 3And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.

Commentaries on Joel 3:1
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 1For, behold, in those days - According to the preceding prophecy, these days should refer to Gospel times, or to such as should immediately precede them. But this is a part of the prophecy which is difficult to be understood. All interpreters are at variance upon it; some applying its principal parts to Cambyses; his unfortunate expedition to Egypt; the destruction of fifty thousand of his troops (by the moving pillars of sand) whom he had sent across the…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 1For, behold - The prophet by the word, “for,” shows that he is about to explain in detail, what he had before spoken of, in sum.

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1-211. bring again the captivity--that is, reverse it. The Jews restrict this to the return from Babylon. Christians refer it to the coming of Christ. But the prophet comprises the whole redemption, beginning from the return out of Babylon, then continued from the first advent of Christ down to the last day (His second advent), when God will restore His Church to perfect felicity [Calvin].Read the comment
