ExplanationCommentary
Verse 8. And when. Septuagint “but if.” This condition was never fulfilled, at all times; (verse 9,) and therefore the Israelites could blame only themselves, if the promises which God had made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, (Genesis 15. 26. 28 and 35) were not realized. Bible.—Though the country was conquered under David and Solomon, the Israelites did not drive out the former inhabitants, ( C). nor did they keep possession for any long time. Bible.
