He delivered them into the hand of the nations
This phrase highlights God's sovereign judgment upon Israel. The Hebrew root for "delivered" is "נָתַן" (natan), meaning to give or hand over. This action signifies a divine decision to allow Israel to face the consequences of their disobedience. Historically, this refers to periods when Israel was subjugated by foreign powers, such as the Assyrians and Babylonians. It serves as a reminder of the covenant relationship between God and Israel, where blessings and protection were contingent upon their faithfulness.

and those who hated them ruled over them
The phrase underscores the severity of Israel's punishment. The Hebrew word for "hated" is "שָׂנֵא" (sane), indicating intense enmity. This reflects the historical reality of Israel's enemies, who often sought their destruction. The rule of these adversaries was not merely political but also spiritual, as it represented a loss of divine favor. This serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of turning away from God, emphasizing the importance of obedience and faithfulness to His commandments.

Verse 41. - And he gave them into the hand of the heathen. This is the great lesson taught by Jewish history, and especially impressed upon us by Judges and Chronicles. When a nation sins, it is delivered over to its enemies, partly for punishment, partly to lead it to repentance. Israel was delivered into the hand, first, of Mesopotamia (Judges 3:10), then of Moab (Judges 3:12), next of the Philistines (Judges 3:31), then of the Canaanites (Judges 4:2), later on of Midian (Judges 6:1), still later of Ammon (Judges 10:7-18), and then of the Philistines once more (Judges 13:1) - on each occasion because of some flagrant sins, and suffered chastisement until it repented. So we are told in Chronicles with respect to the invasions of Shishak (2 Chronicles 12:2-5), of Pul (1 Chronicles 5:25, 26), of Tiglath-pileser (2 Chronicles 28:19, 20), and of Nebuchadnezzar (2 Chronicles 36:13-17), that they were on account of the people's transgressions. God "slew" them that they might "seek him," and the ordinary result was, that they "turned themselves, and inquired after God." And they that hated them ruled over them. Chushan-rishathaim for eight years (Judges 3:8), Eglon for eighteen (Judges 3:14), Jabin for twenty (Judges 4:3), the Midianites for seven (Judges 6:1), the Ammonites for eighteen (Judges 10:8), the Philistines for forty (Judges 13:1).
