Summary

In Deuteronomy 1:43, the Israelites faced defeat and discouragement when they disobeyed God's command to possess the Promised Land. This verse serves as a reminder of the consequences of disobedience and the importance of following God's instructions. It highlights the need for faith, obedience, and trust in God's promises to experience His blessings and victory. The Israelites' failure to trust God resulted in missed opportunities and setbacks, teaching us the significance of wholehearted devotion and reliance on God in our own lives.

John Gill Bible Commentary

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 Num 14:45.
