Wesley's Notes for Joshua 13:22


13:22 Were slain by them - This was recorded before, #Numb 31:8|, and is here repeated, because the defeating of Balaam's purpose to curse Israel, and the turning that curse into a blessing, was such an instance of the power and goodness of God, as was fit to be had in everlasting remembrance.
