The LORD replied
This phrase emphasizes the direct communication from God to His people. In Hebrew, "Yahweh" is the covenant name of God, signifying His eternal presence and faithfulness. The act of God replying indicates His attentiveness and willingness to engage with His people, even in their disobedience. It reflects His role as a just and compassionate judge who listens and responds to the cries of His people.

When the Egyptians
The mention of the Egyptians recalls the Israelites' bondage in Egypt and their subsequent deliverance. This historical context is crucial as it underscores God's power and faithfulness in liberating His people from oppression. The Egyptians symbolize a formidable enemy, yet they were no match for the might of God, who delivered Israel with signs and wonders.

Amorites
The Amorites were a significant Canaanite group that the Israelites encountered during their conquest of the Promised Land. Their mention here serves as a reminder of the victories God granted Israel over seemingly insurmountable foes. The Amorites' defeat is a testament to God's promise to give the land to His people and His ability to fulfill His promises despite human obstacles.

Ammonites
The Ammonites were descendants of Lot and often in conflict with Israel. Their inclusion in this list highlights the recurring theme of Israel's struggles with neighboring nations. Historically, the Ammonites were a persistent threat, yet God delivered Israel from their oppression multiple times. This serves as a reminder of God's protective nature and His sovereignty over all nations.

Philistines
The Philistines were one of Israel's most persistent adversaries, known for their military prowess and advanced weaponry. Mentioning them here is significant as it points to God's deliverance from a technologically superior enemy. The Philistines' repeated appearances in the biblical narrative underscore the ongoing spiritual and physical battles faced by God's people and the necessity of relying on divine strength for victory.

Verse 11. - Did not I deliver you, etc. These references to former deliverances are of great historical value, and not the least so as they allude to events of which the existing records give no account, or a very imperfect one. They show the existence of a real history in the background of that which has been preserved in the Bible (see Judges 8:13, note). From the Egyptians, as related at large in the Book of Exodus; from the Amorites, as related in Numbers 21:21-35; from the children of Ammon, who were confederate with the Moabites under Ehud, as we learn from Judges 3:13; from the Philistines, as is briefly recorded in Judges 3:31.
