Charles Ellicott Commentary Judges 2:14

"And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that despoiled them; and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies." — Judges 2:14 (ASV)

The anger of the Lord was hot. —(Psalms 78:59). The language of the sad summary which follows should be compared with that of very similar passages which we find in various parts of the Bible (Psalms 106:34–45; Deuteronomy 32; 2 Kings 17; 2 Kings 17; 2 Kings 24:2–4; 2 Chronicles 36:11–21; Jeremiah 11:2–10).

He sold them. —We find the same expression in Judges 3:8; Judges 4:2; Judges 10:7; Deuteronomy 32:33; Psalms 44:12; Isaiah 1:1; compare to 2 Kings 17:20.

So that they could not any longer stand. —Compare to Leviticus 26:17, Ye shall be slain before your enemies; Deuteronomy 28:15–68.
