Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 10. - We have served [the] Baalim and [the] Ashtaroth. I.e. the numerous Baals and Astartes, which were worshipped under various titles by the heathen. For though representing the same power, each people had their own epithets for their own particular personification of the god (see on 1 Samuel 7:4).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(10) And they cried unto the Lord.--As soon as they were convinced of their sin and rebellion, and accused themselves, and returned to their old allegiance, their invisible King, ever full of pity and tender compassion, forgave them, and sent them quick deliverance.And have served Baalim and Ashtaroth.--Baal and Ashtaroth were the well-known leading Ph?nician deities; the worship, with most of its details, was imported probably from Carthage, the great Ph?nician centre. The temple of Baal-shemesh, the Sun god, at Carthage, was renowned in that luxurious and splendid city. (For a detailed and picturesque account of the worship and ritual of Baal at Carthage, see M. Gustave Flaubert's romance of Salombo.) Baal and Ashtaroth, the Greek Astarte, were probably originally worshipped simply as the sun and moon. The plural form refers to the various personifications and different titles of the god and goddess.
