Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 63. - As for the Jebusites. This passage, compared with Judges 1:8, 21, and 2 Samuel 5:6, implies that the people of Judah took and set on fire the lower city, but were compelled to leave the stronghold of Zion in the hands of the Jebusites (see note on Joshua 10:1). Origen and Theodoret see in the Jebusites the type of the nominal members of Christ's Church, who are not His disciples indeed. The former refers to Matthew 13:25. Unto this day. A clear proof that this book was written before David became king.

A list of the failures of all the tribes is given in Judges 1.
