George Leo Haydock, on Judg 3:10

“And the spirit of the Lord was in him, and he judged Israel. And he went out to fight, and the Lord delivered into his hands Chusan Rasathaim king of Syria, and he overthrew him.”

“In him, to instruct and enable him both to rout the enemy, and to govern the people with prudence. (Haydock) — Chaldean, “the spirit of prophecy.” The oracle excited him to attack Chusan. (Josephus, [Antiquities?] v. 3.) He was entrusted with an extraordinary authority, in a wonderful manner, and God gave him all those virtues which were requisite for his exalted station. (Calmet) — Him. Hebrew, “his hand was strong upon Chusan Rasathaim.” He gained a complete victory over him, (Haydock) the particulars of which are not mentioned, though they must have been very interesting and extraordinary, as the power of Chusan was so extensive. (Calmet)”
