     * he went out.
     # 19:1,2; 25:15,16; 1Ki 20:13,22,42; 2Ki 20:14,15|
     * Behold.
       To this beautiful speech nothing can be added by the best
       comment:  it is simple, humane, pious, and overwhelmingly
       convincing; and it is no wonder that it produced the effect
       here described.  That there was much humanity, as well as
       firmness, in the heads of the children of Ephraim, who joined
       with the prophet of Jehovah on this occasion, their subsequent
       conduct, as detailed in the fifteenth verse, sufficiently
       proves.  They did not barely dismiss these most unfortunate
       captives, but they took that very spoil which their victorious
       army had taken, and with clothed, shod, fed, and anointed
       these distressed people, set the feeblest of them upon asses,
       and escorted them safely to Jericho!  We can scarcely find a
       parallel to this in the universal history of the wars which
       savage man has carried on against his fellows from the
       foundation of the world.  The compliance also of the whole
       army, in leaving both the captives and spoil to the disposal
       of the princes, was really wonderful, and perhaps unparalleled
       in history.  Both the princes and army are worthy to be held
       up to the admiration and imitation of mankind.

     * because the Lord God.

     # Eze 26:2,3; Ob 1:10-16; Zec 1:15|
     * reacheth.
