Deuteronomy 1:43 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 1:43

So I spake unto you
The words, the orders he had received from the Lord to deliver to them:

and ye would not hear;
so as to obey them, and act according to them:

but rebelled against the commandment of the Lord:
as before, by not going up when he would have had them gone, and now by attempting it when he forbid them:

and went presumptuously up into the hill;
that is, of themselves, in their own strength, disregarding the commandment of God, and what they were threatened with; this they endeavoured to do, for they were not able to effect it; the Amorites, perceiving them to make up the hill, came pouring down upon them in great numbers, and stopped them, and obliged them to retreat; see ( Numbers 14:45 ) .

Deuteronomy 1:43 In-Context

41 Then you replied, “We have sinned against the LORD. We will go up and fight, as the LORD our God commanded us.” So every one of you put on his weapons, thinking it easy to go up into the hill country.
42 But the LORD said to me, “Tell them, ‘Do not go up and fight, because I will not be with you. You will be defeated by your enemies.’ ”
43 So I told you, but you would not listen. You rebelled against the LORD’s command and in your arrogance you marched up into the hill country.
44 The Amorites who lived in those hills came out against you; they chased you like a swarm of bees and beat you down from Seir all the way to Hormah.
45 You came back and wept before the LORD, but he paid no attention to your weeping and turned a deaf ear to you.
