Context — The Danites Settle in Laish
8When the men returned to Zorah and Eshtaol, their brothers asked them, “What did you find?”
9They answered, “Come on, let us go up against them, for we have seen the land, and it is very good. Why would you fail to act? Do not hesitate to go there and take possession of the land!
10When you enter, you will come to an unsuspecting people and a spacious land, for God has delivered it into your hand. It is a place where nothing on earth is lacking.”
11So six hundred Danites departed from Zorah and Eshtaol, armed with weapons of war. 12They went up and camped at Kiriath-jearim in Judah. That is why the place west of Kiriath-jearim is called Mahaneh-dan to this day.Cross References

Judges 18:10 Summary
[This verse is saying that when the Israelites enter the land, they will find that the people are not prepared for battle and that the land is full of resources and abundance, as God has given it to them. This is similar to when God promised to give the Israelites the land of Canaan in Exodus 6:4, where He said that He would give them a land flowing with milk and honey. The key to receiving this promise is to trust in God's power and provision, rather than our own strength and abilities, as seen in Psalm 37:3-7, where we are told to trust in the Lord and do good, and to dwell in the land and feed on His faithfulness.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean that the people in the land are unsuspecting?
This means that the people in the land are not prepared for battle or expecting an attack, much like the people of Sodom in Genesis 18:20-21, who were also unaware of the judgment that was about to come upon them.
How can we be sure that God has delivered a place into our hands?
We can be sure when God has clearly spoken to us through His Word, as seen in Joshua 1:3, where God tells Joshua that He will give him every place where he sets his foot, or through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, as in Acts 16:6-10, where Paul is directed to preach in Macedonia.
What does it mean that nothing on earth is lacking in this place?
This phrase suggests that the land is fertile and abundant, with all the resources needed to sustain life, much like the Garden of Eden described in Genesis 2:8-14, where everything was provided for Adam and Eve.
Is this verse promising prosperity and success to anyone who takes the land?
While the verse does describe the land as spacious and abundant, we must remember that God's promises are conditional upon our obedience to Him, as seen in Deuteronomy 28:1-2, where God promises to bless the Israelites if they obey His commands.
Reflection Questions
- What are some areas in my life where I feel like I am being called to take possession of something new, and how can I trust that God has delivered it into my hands?
- How can I balance the idea of trusting in God's provision with the need to be wise and discerning in my decisions, as seen in Proverbs 3:5-6?
- What are some ways that I can cultivate a sense of dependence on God, rather than relying on my own strength and abilities, as seen in 2 Corinthians 12:9-10?
- How can I apply the principle of trusting in God's guidance, as seen in this verse, to my own life and decisions, and what steps can I take to seek His will?

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Judges 18:10
God hath given it into your hands: this they gather partly from God’ s word or promise, which they supposed they had from the Levite’ s mouth; and partly from his providence, which hath so disposed them, that they will be an easy prey to you.
Trapp's Commentary on Judges 18:10
Judges 18:10 When ye go, ye shall come unto a people secure, and to a large land: for God hath given it into your hands; a place where [there is] no want of any thing that [is] in the earth.Ver. 10. A place where there is no want of anything.] And might therefore have been called Macaria, or Blessed; as the island Cyprus was of old, because of the abundance of commodities which it sendeth to other countries, of whom it craveth no help again. The people therein generally lived so at ease and pleasure, that therefore the island was dedicated to Venus, who was therehence called Cypria. Sextus Rufus, writing thereof, saith, Cyprus, famous for its wealth, solicited the poverty of the people of Rome to seize upon it. Ita ut ius eius insulae avarius magis quam iustius simus assecuti: so that we got that island more covetously than justly. So did the Danites this city of Laish, if at least, as some will have it, it belonged to the tribe of Asher, and not to them. Turk. Hist.
Ellicott's Commentary on Judges 18:10
(10) To a large land.—Literally, wide on both hands (Genesis 34:11). This well describes the position of Tel el-Kadi. (See Notes on Judges 18:7; Judges 18:28.) God hath given it into your hands.—Of this they feel confident, from the interpretation which they put upon the oracular response given them by Jonathan in Judges 18:6.
Cambridge Bible on Judges 18:10
9, 10. The reply of the spies is overcharged, and the sentences out of logical order, probably owing to the combination of the two narratives. Moore thus separates the two: (a) Arise, and let us go up against them: for when ye come, ye shall come unto a people secure, and the land is large, for it is a place where there is no want of anything that is in the earth; (b) And they said, We have seen the land, and, behold, it is very good: and are ye still? be not slothful to go and to enter in to possess the land; God hath given it into your hand. A different arrangement is proposed by Budde, who further points out that we should expect the spies to mention the name of the place which they discovered and urged their clan to seize; accordingly he reads to Laish for against them in (a), and supplies the omission in (b). He distinguishes the sources as follows: (a) And they said, Arise and let us go up [to Laish]; for we have seen the land, and, behold, it is very good; a place where there is no want of any thing that is in the earth; (b) And they said, [Why] are ye still? be not slothful to go [to Laish] to possess the land, for [Jehovah] hath given it into your hand. When ye come, ye shall come … is large. Of the two, Budde’s arrangement seems preferable; but it is impossible to reconstruct the sources with any certainty. and are ye still?] Cf. 1 Kings 22:3. Budde’s correction, why for and, is an improvement.
