Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 6. - There was no king. This must have been written in the days of the kings of Israel and Judah, and perhaps with reference to the efforts of such kings as Ass (1 Kings 15:13) and Jehoshaphat (1 Kings 22:43) to put down idolatry.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(6) In those days there was no king.--This shows that these narratives were written, or more probably edited, in the days of the monarchy. (See Judges 18:1; Judges 19:1; Judges 21:25.)Did that which was right in his own eyes.--The notice is added to show why there was no authoritative interference of prince or ruler to prevent idolatrous or lawless proceedings. (Deuteronomy 12:8 : "Ye shall not do after all the things which we do here this day, every man what is right in his own eyes.")
