The Deliverance of IsraelHas the LORD struck Israel The phrase begins with a rhetorical question, inviting reflection on God's actions towards Israel. The Hebrew root for "struck" is "נכה" (nakah), which often implies a form of divine judgment or discipline.

The emphasis is on God's covenantal relationship with Israel, where discipline is meant for correction and restoration rather than destruction. as He struck her oppressors?

While noting this, he feels, however, bound to note also, that the judgment is, while it lasts, severe (vers. 10, 11). Verse 7. - Hath he smitten him; etc.? i.e. "Has God smitten Judah, as he '(God) smote Judah's smiters?" Judah's chief smiters were Assyria and Babylon. The judgments upon them would be more severe than that upon Judah. They would be destroyed; Judah would be taken captive, and restored. Them that are slain by him; rather, them that slew him (so Lowth, Ewald, Knobel, and Mr. Cheyne). But, to obtain this meaning, the pointing of the present text must be altered. The law of parallelism seems, however, to require the alteration.
