TSNTyndale Study Notes:

7:10 voice of thunder: See 2:10. God often used similar tactics to throw Israel’s enemies into confusion and defeat them (e.g., Exod 14:24; 23:27; Josh 10:10; Judg 4:15).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

(Occurrence 0) As Samuel … they were routed before Israel

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was Shəmūʼēl offering_up the,burnt_offering and,Philistines drew_near to_the,battle in/on/at/with,Israel and,thundered YHWH in/on/at/with,thunder big/great in_the=day (the)=that on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in Pelishtim and,threw_~_intoconfusion,them and,routed to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before Yisrael )

This begins to explain what the writer means by “Yahweh answered him” in (1 Samuel 7:9).

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

(Occurrence 0) threw them into confusion

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was Shəmūʼēl offering_up the,burnt_offering and,Philistines drew_near to_the,battle in/on/at/with,Israel and,thundered YHWH in/on/at/with,thunder big/great in_the=day (the)=that on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in Pelishtim and,threw_~_intoconfusion,them and,routed to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before Yisrael )

The word “confusion” here is used as a casual way of saying the Philistines were unable to think clearly. Alternate translation: “made them unable to think clearly”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

(Occurrence 0) they were routed before Israel

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was Shəmūʼēl offering_up the,burnt_offering and,Philistines drew_near to_the,battle in/on/at/with,Israel and,thundered YHWH in/on/at/with,thunder big/great in_the=day (the)=that on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in Pelishtim and,threw_~_intoconfusion,them and,routed to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before Yisrael )

This can be translated in active form. This could mean: (1) “Yahweh routed them before Israel” or (2) “Israel routed them”

(Occurrence 0) routed

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was Shəmūʼēl offering_up the,burnt_offering and,Philistines drew_near to_the,battle in/on/at/with,Israel and,thundered YHWH in/on/at/with,thunder big/great in_the=day (the)=that on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in Pelishtim and,threw_~_intoconfusion,them and,routed to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before Yisrael )

To rout people is to defeat them before they can cause any harm.
