- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 21And saviours shall come up - Certain persons whom God may choose to be deliverers of his people; such as Zerubbabel, Ezra, Nehemiah, and the Maccabees.

Israelites, not strangers, shall dispense justice to a God-fearing people (Is 1:26; Eze 45:1-25). The judges were not such a burden to the people as…Read the comment
