Charles Ellicott Commentary Joshua 24:12

"And I sent the hornet before you, which drove them out from before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; not with thy sword, nor with thy bow." — Joshua 24:12 (ASV)

The hornet. —There appears no reason for taking this word in any other than a literal sense. The possibility of what is recorded here has been abundantly illustrated by events reported in our own times.

The two kings of the Amorites. —Apparently, but not necessarily, Sihon and Og are intended. There were kings of the Amorites on both sides of Jordan.
