Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 19. - Chariots of iron. The chariots of the Canaanites were very formidable to the Israelites, who had no means of coping with them. Thus we are told of Jabin, king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazer, that he had 900 chariots of iron, and mightily oppressed the children of Israel. They were later an important part of King Solomon's army (1 Kings 10:26). See too Joshua 17:16.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(19) The Lord was with Judah.--The Targum here has "The Word of the Lord." The expression is frequently used to imply insured prosperity (Genesis 39:23; 1Samuel 18:14; 2Kings 18:7. Comp. Matthew 18:20).But.--Rather, for (ki): i.e., they only dispossessed their enemies of the mountain, for, &c.Could not.--The Hebrew seems purposely to avoid this expression, and says "there was no driving out." Judah could have driven them out; but their faith was cowed by the (Judges 1:19) iron chariots. . . .
