Study Note

The notice 'they put away the strange gods from among them, and served the Lord: and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel' provides one of the Old Testament's most anthropopathic descriptions of divine emotional response — God's soul (nephesh) is shortened/grieved in active empathy with the suffering of his repentant people. The Hebrew 'vatiqtsar nephesh YHWH' (literally 'his soul was shortened/impatient') is often translated 'he could bear Israel's misery no longer' — presenting divine compassion as a limit-response to the accumulation of human suffering. The pattern of repentance-and-divine-response in Judges (sin, judgment, cry, repentance, deliverance) is given its most emotionally intimate expression here: behind the cycles is a God who suffers with his people. Isaiah 63:9 ('in all their affliction he was afflicted') and the New Testament's Jesus 'moved with compassion' (Matthew 9:36) develop the same theology of divine fellow-suffering.
