Who's watching?
And who are you here for?
Who's watching?
And who are you here for?
I've reluctantly continued to watch...but on DVR so I don't have to sit through all the bull they put into the show...haha
There are actually a few acts this year that I've liked...of course a few of the acts that made it through to the Judge's Houses I was kinda like...."Really?" but hey there are always contestants I don't think deserve to be on on these shows.
I thought the groups really stood out last night over the young adults.
I'm not understanding why so many people have sung "I'm Sexy and I Know It"...like it's a singing competition people...you're trying to show off your vocal skills.
we are following it, name to new to remember right now, but there are a lot of good ones on.......
You cant change the way the wind blow's, but you can change the angle of your sail to take you somewhere else!!
Of the acts that made it to the judges' houses, I'm here for Paige Thomas and that girl group, Lylas.
I kinda like the group with Austin Corrini(spelling?), I think their name is Playback. Austin and Johnny Maxwell are so cute. The group was fun to watch, and I'm glad Simon saw something in them.
I also really like Carly Rose Sonenclare. Young, but amazing talent and I loved her audition. Cece comes off as a class A bitch, but I like her. And Arin Ray is alright too, definitely cute.
I like a lot of other groups and people, but those are the ones I remember.
Haven't watched last night's episode yet but I hope that group with the three brothers go home - the one that always had his shirt off.
And the girl with the print on her face, I hope she goes home. She does come off as unlikeable, and this fake act that she is putting on is just because she got called on it.
Agreed. I really liked their performance. It felt organic and you could tell they were having fun, which was entertaining to watch.
I liked Emblem 3 until Wednesday night's episode. They're kind of unlikable the more they talk, because they're always talking about how generic everyone else sounds when they sound like a Sublime cover band. And that one had the nerve to talk about how cheesy Playback was when he's walking around with his shirt off.
Cece gotta go.
I am only watching it for Britney, but she's not acting nutty so I'm over it.
I'm liking LYLAS, Lyric 145, and Carly. I feel like Carly has a shot to win just not sure how successful she would be post show or who would buy her music. LYLAS has a shot to win also and I can see them being successful. I like Lyric 145 just not sure whether the viewers would vote for them, I don't think they appeal to the show's demo.
I liked Paige's first audition, but when put up against other contestants she seems very weak vocally, I'm not impressed by her. Jennel imo should have been put in the group.
This week was lame. X factor was delayed for about an hour. After it came back, the decisions for only the teens and the over 25's came on, then was interrupted by the MLB game. Streamed the show online and saw the results for the young adults and only half of the groups. Gotta wait till tuesday for the rerun of the full episode.
But so far, I'm quite happy with the judges' decisions.
I'll only be watching and choosing my favorites on the first night the show goes live. I briefly watched the whole Boot Camp crap and it seemed so fake.
For example,
Day 1 - CeCe vs Paige
Day 2 - Oh look who they paired up again for singing together! CeCe and Paige! And look at the pair they saved for the last performance so CeCe has all the time in the world to brain fuck her competition!
The judges home rounds also seem very boring and filler-ish to me.
So I'll wait till the show goes live! I do like the category each judge got though.
Oh good, I am glad they are going to re-run that episode.
X Factor renewed for a 3rd season. I am a bit surprised considering how low the ratings have been and how much they pay the judges/winner.
As to this season. Right now my favorite is Janell Garcia.....followed by Beatrice. Not convinced either can win though.
Wow Britney decision was tough tonight.i personally would've put Beatrice in the save song round.not that she's not good but its just she was weaker then the other three.diamond was the strongest on her team.
what am i good at? haha!
Still watching the first live show right now. LYLAS(or now 1432) did a nice job. I'm not mind blown by any of the acts so far tbh. I also really like David Correy, really strong vocals. Enjoyed Lyric 145's performance too. I'm still a little bitter that Playback got sent home. They should've taken Sister C's spot.
Just now, L.A. Reid seemed to be an obnoxious, vindictive, immature brat after Simon murdered Jason Brock's performance with his comments. I've gotta agree though that I hate the name '1432,' so I'll continue to call them LYLAS, but it seemed like L.A. was just trying to get back at Simon by taking it out on the group. So unprofessional.
I love Carly, love her voice, but the song choice really sucked. If her voice wasn't so incredible, I think she'd be out. Emblem 3 comes off as cocky dbags and I didn't really like them at the beginning of the season, but theirs was my favorite performance. Definitely going far.
Carly reminds me of that little girl, Charlotte Church. Y'all remember her? She just needs to go and sing opera or something, cause this is a pop star competition, and either you got it, or you do not. And she ain't got it.
The only person I am here for like that is Paige. But I'd be fine with Lylas/1432/whatever the fuck they're gonna be called next coming in second place.
Okay so I finally took some time to watch the first live show and I was so disappointed. It seemed like a really lame talent show, not a singing competition. I hate how over produced every single performance was and really none of the singers impressed me at all. Can't also understand why it seems like everybody's mic is set on the lowest possible setting.
Britney seemed a bit low on adjectives (I can't even count how many times all she said was "amazing") and was trying to quickly rush through her critiques in a matter of 5-10 seconds. Demi did better than I thought and is actually a good judge, but I don't think she can pull in the target audience they expected her to pull in. Don't really care for LA. Simon did a good job but his reliability in critiquing has turned into a liability now, basically everyone expects him to be consistent with his critiques. So there's no surprise there.
I will pick my favorite to win next week when the public decides to vote but really I was so disappointed. The one thing I will say though is that Mario Lopez works really well as a host. They might do well just cutting off Khloe next season because she seems a bit uncertain.
Also, Britney was basically brought into this show for a ratings boost and I don't see it happening. She is making about 10x more what Nicole made last year and also more than what Paula made. If the ratings aren't going anywhere I don't see any reason why the producers would want to keep her. They're basically paying so much more for 1 judge and not getting the expected results.
Overall though this show is a hot mess. For me the best reality singing competitions were Season 4 - 6 of Idol and of X Factor (UK).
^ I meant Seasons 4-6 of Idol and 5-7 of X Factor (UK)
I found these old first week performances on X Factor UK better than anything I saw on the US season 2
I've been missing it, and the old shows don't last on Demand for more than a couple of days after they air
I liked Emblem3 and a few others, but now I'm not really sure. I saw my dad watching an episode. From what I heard, the girl was super flat -.-
I think X Factor UK is better this year than the US version. You have the hotness factor too..
I like Francisco Lachowski, Jon Kortajarena and other male models
Ugh, how did Tate Stevens get the most votes?
I was so excited for this season but man has it been a let down. The Voice has really been kicking their butts.
Okay, so I had some time on the weekend and just watched the live show, haven't seen the results so I don't know what's going to happen. But here's my quick little review.
The Show: Way better than last week overall and wasn't so much of a hot mess. I still think it is for the most part never going to get as great as the UK version was a few seasons ago. The UK version still is huge in the ratings there but I don't watch it anymore because the judging panel is boring as hell.
Hosts: Someone must've told Khloe that she shouts a lot into her mic and she was a bit better this week but I just feel like Mario Lopez is so much better than her. Khloe might improve over the weeks to come but she just looks very out of place and awkward at times with her comments and questions to the judges.
Judges: In terms of mentoring I think Britney has picked the best musical direction for her acts. However I feel that many of her acts have the same musical style and they could end up splitting votes later on leading to upsets. But Britney is by far making the best choices for her contestants and this just proves a point I made in another topic that while she doesn't have the best voice she has the actual field experience of an artist and she knows exactly what it takes to succeed in this business. I also think she stepped up a key on her adjectives while critiquing, but for some reason her critiques often seem a bit rushed and very Paula-ish in so much as she basically tries to find something nice to say all the time.
Demi is good at critiquing but she needs to learn to wait for her turn to speak because she comes off as annoying at times when she cuts off the other judges (mostly Simon). She also needs to pick better songs for her acts because I feel like they were given lazy song choices.
LA seems to have the most boring category and only two of his acts could do well, Tate or Vino but I feel Vino is better vocally. LA is reminisicnet of Randy in so much as nobody really cares about what he has to say on the judging table.
Simon just seems very desperate to find another One Direction. I don't like Simon on X Factor (US) because I feel that a lot of the stuff he says is utter bullshit just to promote the show. For example I have no idea why he says "the talent we have is immense". Bitch PLEASE. Anyone with ears knows the UK version is doing so much better in terms of talent.
The performances:
1. Arin Ray - Britney picked a great song and he did a great job with it. While I do think he can progress in the competition I don't think he will win the competition. Also don't think he's Britney's best.
2. Paige Thomas - A good voice and a nice performance, but I don't see her doing well outside this competition because she's basically a poor man's Rihanna. But she probably is Demi's best chance at winning the show.
3. Vino - Performed well, probably LA's best chance to win this show but I don't think he will.
4. Emblem3 - Everything I hate in a group and it's a poor man's One Direction.
5. Beatrice - A good voice but I always feel like while she's singing she's trying too hard to remember her stage movement steps in her head. Basically her inexperience shows. Don't think she can win.
6. Jennel - Hated this performance. Basically a karoke performance. I don't see her winning.
7. Tate - Good performance but not my cup of tea. Him or Vino are LA's best shot but I think Vino has a better shot. Either way I don't see him winning.
8. Lyric145 - If you're high as fuck you could enjoy them otherwise it's basically trash.
9. Diamond White - Not Britney's strongest contender. Dangerous song choice due to comparisons to Whitney and the fact that this song has been performed to death and beyond on these shows.
10. CeCe Fray - Comes off as a manipulative bitch. No chance of winning and is there basically as a filler.
11. Carly - Britney's best chance of winning the show and a great voice.
12. Jason Brock - Britney said it best, Vegas show. I don't see him lasting long.
13. Fifth Harmony - Actually my favorite of Simon's groups.
My favorite to win is Carly.
I don't think I'll be watching much of this show because it's really boring at times.
That was a nice summary, however I have to disagree on the quoted points.
Emblem 3 is actually something totally different that One Direction in every single way. They're not created, they are a family, they're together for years now, their style and image is completely different than OD's and really, there's nothing even remotely similiar between them and One Direction.
As to Cece - She comes off as a bitch beacuse it's all planned this way. Did you watch the show from the start? It's edited to make her look like a bitch. From day one she was the one to follow. The producers picked her as the ultimate villain of the second 2. And it's a pity, beacuse she's actually a great singer and I honestly have no idea why you think she has no chance of winning, but if you do think that, it has to be beacuse many people don't like her due to what the producers did.
Her rendition of I WIll Always Love You was absolutely stunning and she was CLEARLY the best of them all, including Carly.
Btw, I also think Carly is the favourite to win the whole show.

Josh's ass
I like Francisco Lachowski, Jon Kortajarena and other male models
ummm...who's Josh?
Arin Ray is fucking fine as hell. Would not mind getting it in that once he's legal...
My Top 5 are:
1) LYLAS/Fifth Harmony/Whatever the fuck their name is this week
2) Arin Ray
3) Jennel Garcia (was #1 before this week)
4) Lyric 145
5) Carly Rose or Beautrice (the little girls are interchangeable for me - big voices, no way to market them to Top 40)
Not crazy about any of the acts this season. No one really blew me away. The country guy sang pretty good last night.
Devastated that Tate or Carly are going to win.
I'd like either Carly or CeCe to win.
It's obvious that Tate gets so many votes because he's the only country act so he alone gets all the votes from country fans.
Britney is the worst judge but I wouldn't say she was only brought on the show for ratings. Perhaps the biggest reason but you also have to realize she has been in the business since she was a toddler and she knows her stuff. Although she is the worst judge she's a really good coach, perhaps the best one on the show.
It's kinda embarrassing to see young Demi next to Britney doing a better job as a judge. But when it comes to coaching she's probably the worst of them all. I honestly think that CeCe could have ended up as the winner with a better coach. Demi completely stripped away her personality by coloring her hair blonde and most of the times she makes her do songs which don't fit her voice well. It's so sad to see this happen to the girl who struck me first as the one with the most star quality.
So yeah Carly better win. Her voice is really good and the most unique one out of all the acts. If Tate ends up in 2nd place he has a better chance of making it, probably getting a Nashville contract.
I'm here for Demi's bops but she really is a horrible mentor. I think she's the reason Jenelle was eliminated so early because she took everything the audience loved about her in the audition eps and changed it. Same with CeCe and Paige. She tried too hard to make them edgy, and the only one who isn't drowning in it is Paige. Which is why she should win, tbh.
Yep, hate that Demi changed everyone. Dyed Cece's hair blond for whatever stupid reason(she looked much better as a brunette), shaved Paige's hair.
The votes were all over the place. Don't agree with most of the rankings, honestly.
This show is so weak compared to Idol. I hate how the judges decide everything. They pick the songs, they pick who goes home, they pick what the contestants look like, they pick stupid dancers to overdo the performances. The judges could pretty much launch their favorite to the finale just like on The Voice. Also only one solo male performer who's under 40 or so made it through to the live shows. I feel sorry for all the young guys who auditioned when they had no shot at making it through anyways. Owen from Playback should've made it to the live shows as a solo act over Beatrice. He was amazing and they put him in a group with weaker singers because they need someone strong to lead the group. Sort of like what they did to Elona and Arin last year with that InTENsity disaster.
As for the contestants, I'm rooting for Cece and Arin Ray. It sucks that both of them will probably leave soon and I will stop following the show after that. Cece was amazing before the live shows. Especially her "Sexy and I Know It" performance. Demi changed her looks and destroyed her confidence. The blonde hair doesn't fit and I actually really liked the leopard prints on her face. It made her look unique and it was an interesting look. Arin Ray's audition was amazing but he hasn't done anything that great since. If he could write songs like the one he wrote in the audition though, he could be the next Usher/Chris Brown. Ok maybe that's exaggerating but he could be the next Mario. I really liked Emblem3's audition song and performance but they've also haven't blown me away since their audition and they seem like huge douchebags other than the youngest one so it's too hard to root for them. I have a feeling their original stuff is probably good though.

This show is a hot mess. I feel like it has no sense of direction. The only ones that has potential is Sonenclaire and Tate. The rest are just overconfident jackasses. And I agree with Awesomeness...actually it's Simon who's controlling everything, the other 3 are just there for show.
Carly Rose Sonenclare needs to win. She is absolutely incredible.
Agreed on others saying how it's pretty much been a slop bucket (I didn't even watch the first season of US's version - doesn't interest me; only here for Britney). It's gotten more watchable/engaging during some Live portions of the show, but I personally can't wait to see Emblem3 and CeCe (StoneCold Face) go home... not here for their utter egomania and "wtf" moments when they get criticism. Tate or Carly Rose have it in the bag, and I won't be surprised to see them in the Top 4.
I was so happy to see Carly in 1st place last week.
Like I've said before Tate has always gotten the 1st spot for being the only country act.
But as the non-country acts get fewer, the votes they got are more likely to move to Carly than Tate.
My prediction is that Carly will win and Tate will get 2nd place.
Her voice is so amazing and unique so I'm really excited about her releasing an album.
I think Diamond White will get better as the competition goes on, and will give Britney 2 of the Final 4 acts, along with Tate and probably Emblem 3.

Bolivar County Administrator Will Hooker alerted the board the bid opening for project contracts would take place at the next board meeting, but confusion stemmed as to whether or not an official agreement showed documentation of the city of Cleveland's commitment to accept the districts' wastewater.
The Mississippi Department of Environmental Equality requires the official written inter-local agreement.
The districts will operate under the envelope of the county, but are directed by board-appointed leaders.
"Board Attorney Linda Coleman needs to provide an updated inter-local agreement for the new structures for the MDEQ," said Hooker.
According to Hooker, Cleveland originally said it would operate the two districts, but later decided it would only accept the waste at a fee to the county.
At that point, the county had no choice but to establish the separate utility districts, which is what Butler Snow law firm in Jackson was hired to assist with.
Hooker explained that Cleveland remains committed to accepting the greywater and that Coleman should be able to update the agreement for MDEQ standards.
Supervisor Larry King (Noblin) asked whether Butler Snow would be responsible for the update, but Supervisor Donny Whitten (Stanton) contended the firm was only hired for assistance in establishing the residential boundaries making up the districts.
"I believe the board only hired Butler Snow to form the districts," said Whitten. "Establishing the local agreement would probably cost extra.
"I'm just asking the board and administrator move forward with this as soon as possible so we can get this done for our citizens," said Whitten.
The board was facing pressure to improve the systems in a timely manner or otherwise lose grant and loan support from the Delta Regional Authority and the MDEQ.
Residents of the Isaac Daniels subdivision in Mound Bayou will also be receiving a new system, but Mound Bayou will accept the wastewater.

I ordered the round version of this carpet. The color, quality and size were an excellent choice for my foyer. This picture doesn't do the carpet justice as there are more chocolate, warm/gold beige tones along with the soft,neutral green. I also ordered the round carpet pad. Overall, I am not disappointed in my choice of size, style and color and would recommend this to friends/or family members.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I was leary about buying a rug on line since it is hard to tell on the color but it turned out to be exactly what I was looking for. It arrived very quickly. I was disappointed that the pad was shipped separately and did not come until a few days later. I will say that the pad was better than anything I could find at the home improvement store or department store so was worth the wait. I am in the market for another rug so will be ordering again from you soon.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.The rug is awesome..the color is true to its picture
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

I recently went to Sedona, Arizona for some much needed R&R. I visited the vortices – or as they are referred to in Sedona, the vortexes – and they were simply transformative. I climbed Bell Rock and as I sat there, I found myself crying and releasing residual thoughts and feelings for myself and others; it felt like a cleansing of sorts.
After I finished crying, it hit me like a ton of bricks – no one is a victim. I know some of you are cringing right now, but it's true. You may have been victimized, but you are not a victim unless you choose to be a victim. While I already knew this, it resonated with my essence in an entirely different way. I thought about myself, my clients, friends and family and noticed a pattern – they all created their lives either, consciously or unconsciously. If it is true that there are no victims then everyone has a chance to be whoever and create whatever life they want.
Don't believe me? Look at those who are self-made or those who inherited their circumstances – good or bad. When those circumstances no longer suited them or reflected who they felt they were at the time, they changed it either consciously or unconsciously – and were passionate about it. Look, we all make choices to keep things as they are or to change them. And, when we avoid making a choice, we have decided to keep our current circumstance the same. Take a minute and think about it.
So how does this tie into how we create our joy and misery? Simple: if you want to be happy, then make choices that lead you toward your happiness. If you want to be miserable, then make choices that lead you towards your misery. It seems to me that most people want to be happy; however, the cost of happiness is comfort. Since the cost of happiness is too high for most people, they settle for their current state.
In the end, it doesn't matter what I or anyone else says or thinks about your life or how you live it – miserably or not. What does matter is whether it is the life you envision for yourself. So if you want to be happy, then take steps to make it happen even if they are baby steps! You can do it and I'm cheering for you!

Green Giant says their Health Blends mix of vegetables, "contain premium vegetables, uniquely blended and lightly tossed with a great tasting sauce to provide you with specific nutrients to help you feel at your body's best." Well, how could I resist?! I surveyed the various types such as Healthy Vision, Healthy Weight (which got our elusive 5 kiss rating), Immunity Blend, before settling on trying the Green Giant Digestive Health because it seemed like an interesting mix in a convenient, compact package.
The carrots, beans, and spinach come in a Steamable bag, and I love how you just have to pull the bag open to access your food. All the components came out with a firm texture, and the garlic herb sauce made from a canola oil base provided a thick layer of additional flavor, which unfortunately, masked the natural flavors of the vegetables. This may be seen as a good thing as those who don't like vegetables. The sauce was delish, so it was still a win-win situation.
A 1/2 cup serving prepared or 3/4 cup serving frozen of Green Giant Digestive Health Vegetables provides 90 calories, 2.5 grams of total fat, none of which is saturated, and no cholesterol. Each serving has 390 milligrams of sodium (16% of the daily value), which can add up if you eat the whole bag (2 servings) like I did. Each serving also has 14 grams of carbohydrates, and of those, a whopping 5 grams are dietary fiber, which are the reason behind the digestive health description. There are also 4 grams of protein.
I paid $1.52 for a 7 ounce package at a Wal-Mart. This frozen food was easy to prepare, good to eat, and pretty healthy, but I was a little wary about all that salt. For health nuts and vegetable haters alike, the Green Giant Digestive Health finds a way to please with the variety of vegetables and beans and with the sauce as well.

The book of Judges is the history of Israel during the government of the Judges, who were occasional deliverers, raised up by God to rescue Israel from their oppressors, to reform the state of religion, and to administer justice to the people. The state of God's people does not appear in this book so prosperous, nor their character so religious, as might have been expected; but there were many believers among them, and the tabernacle service was attended to. The history exemplifies the frequent warnings and predictions of Moses, and should have close attention. The whole is full of important instruction.
Proceedings of the tribes of Judah and Simeon. (1-8) Hebron and other cities taken. (9-20) The proceedings of other tribes. (21-36)
Verses 1-8 The Israelites were convinced that the war against the Canaanites was to be continued; but they were in doubt as to the manner in which it was to be carried on after the death of Joshua. In these respects they inquired of the Lord. God appoints service according to the strength he has given. From those who are most able, most work is expected. Judah was first in dignity, and must be first in duty. Judah's service will not avail unless God give success; but God will not give the success, unless Judah applies to the service. Judah was the most considerable of all the tribes, and Simeon the least; yet Judah begs Simeon's friendship, and prays for aid from him. It becomes Israelites to help one another against Canaanites; and all Christians, even those of different tribes, should strengthen one another. Those who thus help one another in love, have reason to hope that God will graciously help both. Adoni-bezek was taken prisoner. This prince had been a severe tyrant. The Israelites, doubtless under the Divine direction, made him suffer what he had done to others; and his own conscience confessed that he was justly treated as he had treated others. Thus the righteous God sometimes, in his providence, makes the punishment answer the sin.
Verses 9-20 The Canaanites had iron chariots; but Israel had God on their side, whose chariots are thousands of angels, ( Psalms 68:17 ) . Yet they suffered their fears to prevail against their faith. About Caleb we read in ( Joshua 15:16-19 ) . The Kenites had settled in the land. Israel let them fix where they pleased, being a quiet, contented people. They that molested none, were molested by none. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
Verses 21-36 The people of Israel were very careless of their duty and interest. Owing to slothfulness and cowardice, they would not be at the pains to complete their conquests. It was also owing to their covetousness: they were willing to let the Canaanites live among them, that they might make advantage of them. They had not the dread and detestation of idolatry they ought to have had. The same unbelief that kept their fathers forty years out of Canaan, kept them now out of the full possession of it. Distrust of the power and promise of God deprived them of advantages, and brought them into troubles. Thus many a believer who begins well is hindered. His graces languish, his lusts revive, Satan plies him with suitable temptations, the world recovers its hold; he brings guilt into his conscience, anguish into his heart, discredit on his character, and reproach on the gospel. Though he may have sharp rebukes, and be so recovered that he does not perish, yet he will have deeply to lament his folly through his remaining days; and upon his dying bed to mourn over the opportunities of glorifying God and serving the church he has lost. We can have no fellowship with the enemies of God within us or around us, but to our hurt; therefore our only wisdom is to maintain unceasing war against them.
Judges 1:1-3 . THE ACTS OF JUDAH AND SIMEON.
1. Now after the death of Joshua--probably not a long period, for the Canaanites seem to have taken advantage of that event to attempt recovering their lost position, and the Israelites were obliged to renew the war.
the children of Israel asked the Lord--The divine counsel on this, as on other occasions, was sought by Urim and Thummim, by applying to the high priest, who, according to JOSEPHUS, was Phinehas.
saying, Who shall go up for us against the Canaanites first--The elders, who exercised the government in their respective tribes, judged rightly, that in entering upon an important expedition, they should have a leader nominated by divine appointment; and in consulting the oracle, they adopted a prudent course, whether the object of their inquiry related to the choice of an individual commander, or to the honor of precedency among the tribes.
2. the Lord said, Judah shall go up--The predicted pre-eminence ( Genesis 49:8 ) was thus conferred upon Judah by divine direction, and its appointment to take the lead in the ensuing hostilities was of great importance, as the measure of success by which its arms were crowned, would animate the other tribes to make similar attempts against the Canaanites within their respective territories.
I have delivered the land into his hand--not the whole country, but the district assigned for his inheritance.
3. Judah said unto Simeon his brother, Come up with me . . ., that we may fight against the Canaanites--Being conterminous tribes ( Joshua 19:1 Joshua 19:2 ), they had a common interest, and were naturally associated in this enterprise.
Judges 1:4-21 . ADONI-BEZEK JUSTLY REQUITED.
5, 6. Bezek--This place lay within the domain of Judah, about twelve miles south of Jerusalem.
found Adoni-bezek--that is, "lord of Bezek"--he was "found," that is, surprised and routed in a pitched battle, whence he fled; but being taken prisoner, he was treated with a severity unusual among the Israelites, for they "cut off his thumbs and great toes." Barbarities of various kinds were commonly practised on prisoners of war in ancient times, and the object of this particular mutilation of the hands and feet was to disable them for military service ever after. The infliction of such a horrid cruelty on this Canaanite chief would have been a foul stain on the character of the Israelites if there were not reason for believing it was done by them as an act of retributive justice, and as such it was regarded by Adoni-bezek himself, whose conscience read his atrocious crimes in their punishment.
7. Threescore and ten kings--So great a number will not appear strange, when it is considered that anciently every ruler of a city or large town was called a king. It is not improbable that in that southern region of Canaan, there might, in earlier times, have been even more till a turbulent chief like Adoni-bezek devoured them in his insatiable ambition.
8. Now the children of Judah had fought against Jerusalem, and had taken it--The capture of this important city, which ranks among the early incidents in the war of invasion ( Joshua 15:63 ), is here noticed to account for its being in the possession of the Judahites; and they brought Adoni-bezek thither [ Judges 1:7 ], in order, probably, that his fate being rendered so public, might inspire terror far and wide. Similar inroads were made into the other unconquered parts of Judah's inheritance [ Judges 1:9-11 ]. The story of Caleb's acquisition of Hebron is here repeated ( Joshua 15:16-19 ).
16. the children of the Kenite, Moses' father-in-law, went up out of the city of palm trees with the children of Judah--called "the Kenite," as probably descended from the people of that name ( Numbers 24:21 Numbers 24:22 ). If he might not himself, his posterity did accept the invitation of Moses ( Numbers 10:32 ) to accompany the Israelites to Canaan. Their first encampment was in the "city of palm trees"--not Jericho, of course, which was utterly destroyed, but the surrounding district, perhaps En-gedi, in early times called Hazezon-tamar ( Genesis 14:7 ), from the palm-grove which sheltered it. Thence they removed for some unknown cause, and associating themselves with Judah, joined in an expedition against Arad, in the southern part of Canaan ( Numbers 21:1 ). On the conquest of that district, some of this pastoral people pitched their tents there, while others migrated to the north ( Judges 4:17 ).
17-29. And Judah went with Simeon his brother--The course of the narrative is here resumed from Judges 1:9 , and an account given of Judah returning the services of Simeon ( Judges 1:3 ), by aiding in the prosecution of the war within the neighboring tribes.
slew the Canaanites that inhabited Zephath--or Zephathah ( 2 Chronicles 14:10 ), a valley lying in the southern portion of Canaan.
Hormah--destroyed in fulfilment of an early vow of the Israelites incursions in that quarter, came successively to Gaza, Askelon, and Ekron, which they took. But the Philistines seem soon to have regained possession of these cities.
19. the Lord was with Judah; . . . but they could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley--The war was of the Lord, whose omnipotent aid would have ensured their success in every encounter, whether on the mountains or the plains, with foot soldiers or cavalry. It was distrust, the want of a simple and firm reliance on the promise of God, that made them afraid of the iron chariots
21. the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem--Judah had expelled the people from their part of Jerusalem ( Judges 1:8 ). The border of the two tribes ran through the city--Israelites and natives must have been closely intermingled.
Judges 1:22-26 . SOME CANAANITES LEFT.
22, 23. the house of Joseph--the tribe of Ephraim, as distinguished from Manasseh ( Judges 1:27 ).
24. the spies . . . said, . . . Show us, . . . the entrance into the city--that is, the avenues to the city, and the weakest part of the walls.
we will show thee mercy--The Israelites might employ these means of getting possession of a place which was divinely appropriated to them: they might promise life and rewards to this man, though he and all the Canaanites were doomed to destruction ( Joshua 2:12-14 ); but we may assume the promise was suspended on his embracing the true religion, or quitting the country, as he did. If they had seen him to be firmly opposed to either of these alternatives, they would not have constrained him by promises any more than by threats to betray his countrymen. But if they found him disposed to be serviceable, and to aid the invaders in executing the will of God, they might promise to spare him.
27-36. The same course of subjugation was carried on in the other tribes to a partial extent, and with varying success. Many of the natives, no doubt, during the progress of this exterminating war, saved themselves by flight and became, it is thought, the first colonists in Greece, Italy, and other countries. But a large portion made a stout resistance and retained possession of their old abodes in Canaan. In other cases, when the natives were vanquished, avarice led the Israelites to spare the idolaters, contrary to the express command of God; and their disobedience to His orders in this matter involved them in many troubles which this book describes.

Reasons for the apostle not coming to Corinth. (1-4) Directions about restoring the repentant offender. (5-11) An account of his labours and success in spreading the gospel of Christ. (12-17)
Verses 1-4 The apostle desired to have a cheerful meeting with them; and he had written in confidence of their doing what was to their benefit and his comfort; and that therefore they would be glad to remove every cause of disquiet from him. We should always give pain unwillingly, even when duty requires that it must be given.
Verses 5-11 The apostle desires them to receive the person who had done wrong, again into their communion; for he was aware of his fault, and much afflicted under his punishment. Even sorrow for sin should not unfit for other duties, and drive to despair. Not only was there danger last Satan should get advantage, by tempting the penitent to hard thoughts of God and religion, and so drive him to despair; but against the churches and the ministers of Christ, by bringing an evil report upon Christians as unforgiving; thus making divisions, and hindering the success of the ministry. In this, as in other things, wisdom is to be used, that the ministry may not be blamed for indulging sin on the one hand, or for too great severity towards sinners on the other hand. Satan has many plans to deceive, and knows how to make a bad use of our mistakes.
Verses 12-17 A believer's triumphs are all in Christ. To him be the praise and glory of all, while the success of the gospel is a good reason for a Christian's joy and rejoicing. In ancient triumphs, abundance of perfumes and sweet odours were used; so the name and salvation of Jesus, as ointment poured out, was a sweet savour diffused in every place. Unto some, the gospel is a savour of death unto death. They reject it to their ruin. Unto others, the gospel is a savour of life unto life: as it quickened them at first when they were dead in trespasses and sins, so it makes them more lively, and will end in eternal life. Observe the awful impressions this matter made upon the apostle, and should also make upon us. The work is great, and of ourselves we have no strength at all; all our sufficiency is of God. But what we do in religion, unless it is done in sincerity, as in the sight of God, is not of God, does not come from him, and will not reach to him. May we carefully watch ourselves in this matter; and seek the testimony of our consciences, under the teaching of the Holy Spirit, that as of sincerity, so speak we in Christ and of Christ.
2 Corinthians 2:1-17 . REASON WHY HE HAD NOT VISITED THEM ON HIS WAY TO MACEDONIA; THE INCESTUOUS PERSON OUGHT NOW TO BE FORGIVEN; HIS ANXIETY TO HEAR TIDINGS OF THEIR STATE FROM TITUS, AND HIS JOY WHEN AT LAST THE GOOD NEWS REACHES HIM.
1. with myself--in contrast to "you" ( 2 Corinthians 1:23 ). The same antithesis between Paul and them appears in 2 Corinthians 2:2 .
not come again . . . in heaviness--"sorrow"; implying that he had already paid them one visit in sorrow since his coming for the first time to Corinth. At that visit he had warned them "he would not spare if he should come again" 2 Corinthians 12:14 , 13:1 ). to the first Epistle. The "in heaviness" implies mutual pain; they grieving him, and he them. Compare 2 Corinthians 2:2 , "I make you sorry," and 2 Corinthians 2:5 , "If any have caused grief (sorrow)." In this verse he accounts for having postponed his visit, following up 2 Corinthians 1:23 .
2. For--proof that he shrinks from causing them sorrow ("heaviness").
if I--The "I" is emphatic. Some detractor may say that this ( 2 Corinthians 2:1 ) is not my reason for not coming as I proposed; since I showed no scruple in causing "heaviness," or sorrow, in my Epistle (the first Epistle to the Corinthians). But I answer, If I be the one to cause you sorrow, it is not that I have any pleasure in doing so. Nay, my object was that he "who was made sorry by me" (namely, the Corinthians in general, 2 Corinthians 2:3 ; but with tacit reference to the incestuous person in particular) should repent, and so "make me glad," as has actually taken place; "for . . . who is he then that?" &c.
3. I wrote this same unto you--namely, that I would not come to you then ( 2 Corinthians 2:1 ), as, if I were to come then, it would have to be "in heaviness" (causing sorrow both to him and them, owing to their impenitent state). He refers to the first Epistle (compare 1 Corinthians 16:7 ; compare 1 Corinthians 4:19 1 Corinthians 4:21 , 1 Corinthians 5:2-7 1 Corinthians 5:13 ).
sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice--that is, sorrow from their impenitence, when he ought, on the contrary, to have joy from their penitent obedience. The latter happy effect was produced by his first Epistle, whereas the former would have been the result, had he then visited them as he had originally proposed.
having confidence . . . that my joy is the joy of you all--trusting that you, too, would feel that there was sufficient reason for the postponement, if it interfered with our mutual joy [ALFORD]. The communion of saints, he feels confident in them "ALL" (his charity overlooking, for the moment the small section of his detractors at Corinth, 1 Corinthians 13:7 ), will make his joy ( 2 Corinthians 2:2 ) their joy.
4. So far from my change of purpose being due to "lightness" ( 2 Corinthians 1:17 ), I wrote my letter to you ( 2 Corinthians 2:3 ) "out of much affliction (Greek, 'trouble') and anguish of heart, and with many tears."
not that ye should be grieved--Translate, "be made sorry," to accord with the translation, 2 Corinthians 2:2 . My ultimate and main object was, "not that ye might be made sorry," but that through sorrow you might be led to repentance, and so to joy, redounding both to you and me ( 2 Corinthians 2:2 2 Corinthians 2:3 ). I made you sorry before going to you, that when I went it might not be necessary. He is easily made sorry, who is admonished by a friend himself weeping [BENGEL].
that ye might know the love--of which it is a proof to rebuke sins openly and in season [ESTIUS], ( Psalms 141:5 , Proverbs 27:6 ). "Love" is the source from which sincere reproof springs; that the Corinthians might ultimately recognize this as his motive, was the apostle's aim.
which I have more abundantly unto you--who have been particularly committed to me by God ( Acts 18:10 , 1 Corinthians 4:15 , 9:2 ).
5. grief . . . grieved--Translate as before, "sorrow . . . made sorry." The "any" is a delicate way of referring to the incestuous person.
not . . . me, but in part--He has grieved me only in part (compare 2 Corinthians 1:14 , Romans 11:25 ), that is, I am not the sole party aggrieved; most of you, also, were aggrieved.
that I may not overcharge--that I may not unduly lay the weight of the charge on you all, which I should do, if I made myself to be the sole party aggrieved. ALFORD punctuates, "He hath not made sorry me, but in part (that I press not too heavily; namely, on him) you all." Thus "you all" is in contrast to "me"; and "in part" is explained in the parenthetical clause.
6. Sufficient--without increasing it, which would only drive him to despair ( 2 Corinthians 2:7 ), whereas the object of the punishment was, "that (his) spirit might be saved" in the last day.
to such a man--a milder designation of the offender than if he had been named [MEYER]. Rather, it expresses estrangement from such a one who had caused such grief to the Church, and scandal to religion ( Acts 22:22 , 1 Corinthians 5:5 ).
this punishment--His being "delivered to Satan for the destruction of the flesh"; not only excommunication, but bodily disease
inflicted of many--rather, "by the majority" (the more part of you). Not by an individual priest, as in the Church of Rome, nor by the bishops and clergy alone, but by the whole body of the Church.
7. with overmuch sorrow--Greek, "with HIS overmuch sorrow."
8. confirm your love toward him--by giving effect in act, and showing in deeds your love; namely, by restoring him to your fellowship and praying for his recovering from the sickness penally inflicted on him.
9. For--Additional reason why they should restore the offender, namely, as a "proof" of their obedience "in all things"; now in love, as previously in punishing ( 2 Corinthians 2:6 ), at the apostle's desire. Besides his other reasons for deferring his visit, he had the further view, though, perhaps, unperceived by them, of making an experiment of their fidelity. This accounts for his deferring to give, in his Epistle, the reason for his change of plan (resolved on before writing it). This full discovery of his motive comes naturally from him now, in the second Epistle, after he had seen the success of his measures, but would not have been a seasonable communication before. All this accords with reality, and is as remote as possible from imposture [PALEY, Horæ Paulinæ]. The interchange of feeling is marked ( 2 Corinthians 2:4 ), "I wrote . . . that ye might know the love," &c.: here, "I did write, that I might know the proof of you."
10. Another encouragement to their taking on themselves the responsibility of restoring the offender. They may be assured of Paul's apostolic sanction to their doing so.
for if I forgave anything, to whom I forgave it--The oldest manuscripts read, "For even what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything."
for your sakes forgave I it--He uses the past tense, as of a thing already determined on; as in 1 Corinthians 5:3 , "I have judged already"; or, as speaking generally of forgiveness granted, or to be granted. It is for your sakes I have forgiven, and do forgive, that the Church (of which you are constituent members) may suffer no hurt by the loss of a soul, and that ye may learn leniency as well as faithfulness.
in the person of Christ--representing Christ, and acting by His authority: answering to 1 Corinthians 5:4 , "In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ . . . my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ."
11. Literally, "That we may have no advantage gained over us by Satan," namely, by letting one of our members be lost to us through despair, we ourselves furnishing Satan with the weapon, by our repulsive harshness to one now penitent. The loss of a single sinner is a common loss; therefore, in 2 Corinthians 2:10 , he said, "for your sakes." Paul had "delivered" the offender "to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the Spirit might be saved" ( 1 Corinthians 5:5 ). Satan sought to destroy the spirit also: to let him do so, would be to give him an advantage, and let him overreach us.
not ignorant of his devices--"Ignorant" and "devices" are words akin in sound and root in Greek: we are not without knowledge of his knowing schemes.
12. Paul expected to meet Titus at Troas, to receive the tidings as to the effect of his first Epistle on the Corinthian Church; but, disappointed in his expectation there, he passed on to Macedonia, where he met him at last ( 2 Corinthians 7:5 2 Corinthians 7:6 2 Corinthians 7:7 ) The history (Acts) does not record his passing through Troas, in going from Ephesus to Macedonia; but it does in coming from that country ( Acts 20:6 ); also, that he had disciples there ( Acts 20:7 ), which accords with the Epistle ( 2 Corinthians 2:12 , "a door was opened unto me of the Lord"). An undesigned coincidence marking genuineness [PALEY, Horæ Paulinæ]. Doubtless Paul had fixed a time with Titus to meet him at Troas; and had desired him, if detained so as not to be able to be at Troas at that time, to proceed at once to Macedonia to Philippi, the next station on his own journey. Hence, though a wide door of Christian usefulness opened to him at Troas, his eagerness to hear from Titus the tidings from Corinth, led him not to stay longer there when the time fixed was past, but he hastened on to Macedonia to meet him there [BIRKS].
to preach--literally, "for the Gospel." He had been at Troas before, but the vision of a man from Macedonia inviting him to come over, prevented his remaining there ( Acts 16:8-12 ). On his return to Asia, after the longer visit mentioned here, he stayed seven days ( Acts 20:6 ).
and--that is, though Paul would, under ordinary circumstances, have gladly stayed in Troas.
door . . . opened . . . of the Lord--Greek, "in the Lord," that is, in His work, and by His gracious Providence.
13. no rest in my spirit--rather, "no rest for my spirit" ( Genesis 8:9 ). As here his "spirit" had no rest; so in 2 Corinthians 7:5 , his "flesh." His "spirit" under the Holy Spirit, hence, concluded that it was not necessary to avail himself of the "door" of usefulness at Troas any longer.
taking . . . leave of them--the disciples at Troas.
14. Now--Greek, "But." Though we left Troas disappointed in not meeting Titus there, and in having to leave so soon so wide a door, "thanks be unto God," we were triumphantly blessed in both the good news of you from Titus, and in the victories of the Gospel everywhere in our progress. The cause of triumph cannot be restricted (as ALFORD explains) to the former; for "always," and "in every place," show that the latter also is intended.
causeth us to triumph--The Greek, is rather, as in Colossians 2:15 , "triumphs over us": "leadeth us in triumph." Paul regarded himself as a signal trophy of God's victorious power in Christ. His Almighty Conqueror was leading him about, through all the cities of the Greek and Roman world, as an illustrious example of His power at once to subdue and to save. The foe of Christ was now the servant of Christ. As to be led in triumph by man is the most miserable, so to be led in triumph by God is the most glorious, lot that can befall any [TRENCH]. Our only true triumphs are God's triumphs over us. His defeats of us are our only true victories [ALFORD]. The image is taken from the triumphal procession of a victorious general. The additional idea is perhaps included, which distinguishes God's triumph from that of a human general, that the captive is brought into willing obedience ( 2 Corinthians 10:5 ) to Christ, and so joins in the triumph: God "leads him in triumph" as one not merely triumphed over, but also as one triumphing over God's foes with God (which last will apply to the apostle's triumphant missionary progress under the leading of God). So BENGEL: "Who shows us in triumph, not [merely] as conquered, but as the ministers of His victory. Not only the victory, but the open 'showing' of the victory is marked: for there follows, Who maketh manifest."
savour--retaining the image of a triumph. As the approach of the triumphal procession was made known by the odor of incense scattered far and wide by the incense-bearers in the train, so God "makes manifest by us" (His now at once triumphed over and triumphing captives, compare Luke 5:10 , "Catch," literally, "Take captive so as to preserve alive") the sweet savor of the knowledge of Christ, the triumphant Conqueror ( Colossians 2:15 ), everywhere. As the triumph strikes the eyes, so the savor the nostrils; thus every sense feels the power of Christ's Gospel. This manifestation (a word often recurring in his Epistles to the Corinthians, compare 1 Corinthians 4:5 ) refutes the Corinthian suspicions of his dishonestly, by reserve, hiding anything from them ( 2 Corinthians 2:17 , 2 Corinthians 4:2 ).
15. The order is in Greek, "For (it is) of Christ (that) we are a sweet savor unto God"; thus, the "for" justifies his previous words ( 2 Corinthians 2:14 ), "the savor of HIS (Christ's) knowledge." We not only scatter the savor; but "we are the sweet savor" itself ( Solomon 1:3 ; compare John 1:14 John 1:16 , Ephesians 5:2 , 1 John 2:27 ).
in them that are saved--rather, "that are being saved . . . that are perishing" blinds in darkness the weak, is for all that still light; and honey, though it taste bitter to the sick, is in itself still sweet; so the Gospel is still of a sweet savor, though many perish through unbelief [CHRYSOSTOM, Homilies, 5.467], ( 2 Corinthians 4:3 2 Corinthians 4:4 2 Corinthians 4:6 ). As some of the conquered foes led in triumph were put to death when the procession reached the capitol, and to them the smell of the incense was the "savor of death unto death," while to those saved alive, it was the "savor of life," so the Gospel was to the different classes respectively.
and in them--in the case of them. "Those being saved" (2 Corinthians 3:1-4:2'): "Those that are perishing" ( 2 Corinthians 4:3-5 ).
16. savour of death unto death . . . of life unto life--an odor arising out of death (a mere announcement of a dead Christ, and a virtually lifeless Gospel, in which light unbelievers regard the Gospel message), ending (as the just and natural consequence) in death (to the unbeliever); (but to the believer) an odor arising out of life (that is, the announcement of a risen and living Saviour), ending in life (to the believer) ( Matthew 21:44 , Luke 2:34 , John 9:39 ).
who is sufficient for these things?--namely, for diffusing aright everywhere the savor of Christ, so diverse in its effects on believers and unbelievers. He here prepares the way for one purpose of his Epistle, namely, to vindicate his apostolic mission from its detractors at Corinth, who denied his sufficiency. The Greek order puts prominently foremost the momentous and difficult task assigned to him, "For these things, who is sufficient?"
