I sent the hornet before you, which drove them out from before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; not with your sword, nor with your bow.

ExplanationCommentary
Verse 12. Hornets. Saint Augustine explains this of the rumours, or devils, which terrified the people of the country. But it is generally understood literally. Wisd. 12:8. Menochius. Exodus 23:28. Calmet.—The two, and so forth not only the nations on the west, but also those on the east side of the Jordan, who fell, not so much by the valour of the Israelites, as by the terror and judgments of God. Bible.—The resistance which they made was hardly worth mentioning.
