Theological / Devotional

Brought them forth. It was base ingratitude and treachery for Israel to turn away from the Lord, who had wrought such a marvelous deliverance for them in Egypt and who had established them in the Promised Land. Israel foolishly turned from a God who was everything and could do everything for His people to gods who were nothing and could do nothing (see on Kings 9:9).
