Philistine and Ammonite Oppression
6And again the Israelites did evil in the sight of the LORD. They served the Baals, the Ashtoreths, the gods of Aram, Sidon, and Moab, and the gods of the Ammonites and Philistines. Thus they forsook the LORD and did not serve Him. 7So the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He sold them into the hands of the Philistines and Ammonites, 8who that very year harassed and oppressed the Israelites, and did so for eighteen years to all the Israelites on the other side of the Jordan in Gilead, the land of the Amorites.…

So the anger of the LORD burned against Israel
The phrase "the anger of the LORD" is a recurring theme in the Old Testament, often indicating God's righteous indignation towards the sin and disobedience of His people. The Hebrew word for "anger" here is "אַף" (aph), which can also mean "nostril" or "face," suggesting a vivid image of God's wrath as something that is deeply personal and intense. This anthropomorphic expression helps convey the seriousness of Israel's transgressions. Historically, Israel's repeated cycle of sin, oppression, repentance, and deliverance is a central theme in the Book of Judges, illustrating the consequences of turning away from God. The phrase "burned against" further emphasizes the intensity of God's response, indicating not just displeasure but a consuming wrath that demands attention and action.

and He sold them into the hands of the Philistines and the Ammonites
The term "sold them" is significant, as it implies a relinquishing of protection and a handing over to foreign powers. In Hebrew, the word "מָכַר" (makar) is used, which can mean to sell or to give over. This reflects a judicial action by God, allowing Israel to experience the consequences of their idolatry and covenant unfaithfulness. The Philistines and the Ammonites were two of Israel's most persistent enemies, representing external threats that God used to discipline His people. Archaeological evidence and historical records confirm the presence and power of these groups during the period of the Judges. The Philistines, known for their advanced iron technology and military prowess, and the Ammonites, descendants of Lot, were instruments in God's hands to bring Israel to a place of repentance. This phrase underscores the sovereignty of God in using even Israel's enemies to fulfill His divine purposes and to draw His people back to Himself.

(7) The anger of the Lord.--For the phrases in this verse see Judges 2:14-20; Judges 3:8; comp. 1Samuel 12:9.

Of the Philistines.--Judges 3:31.

Verse 7. - The anger of the Lord, etc. See Judges 2:13, 14. Into the hands of the Philistines. Probably the same Philistine domination as is described more fully in the history of the judgeship of Samson (chs. 13-16.). But now the writer confines his attention first to the oppression of the Ammonites.
