2. Parallel to
Zec 14:2, 3, 4,
where the "Mount of Olives" answers to the "Valley of Jehoshaphat" here. The latter is called "the valley of blessing" (Berachah)
(2Ch 20:26).
It lies between Jerusalem and the Mount of Olives and has the Kedron flowing through it. As Jehoshaphat overthrew the confederate foes of Judah, namely, Ammon, Moab, &c.
(Ps 83:6-8),
in this valley, so God was to overthrow the Tyrians, Zidonians, Philistines, Edom, and Egypt, with a similar utter overthrow
(Joe 3:4, 19).
This has been long ago fulfilled; but the ultimate event shadowed forth herein is still future, when God shall specially interpose to destroy Jerusalem's last foes, of whom Tyre, Zidon, Edom, Egypt, and Philistia are the types. As "Jehoshaphat" means "the judgment of Jehovah," the valley of Jehoshaphat may be used as a general term for the theater of God's final judgments on Israel's foes, with an allusion to the judgment inflicted on them by Jehoshaphat. The definite mention of the Mount of Olives in
Zec 14:4,
and the fact that this was the scene of the ascension, makes it likely the same shall be the scene of Christ's coming again: compare "this same Jesus . . . shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven"
(Ac 1:11).
all nations--namely, which have maltreated Judah.
plead with them--
(Isa 66:16; Eze 38:22).
my heritage Israel--
(De 32:9; Jer 10:16).
Implying that the source of Judah's redemption is God's free love, wherewith He chose Israel as His peculiar heritage, and at the same time assuring them, when desponding because of trials, that He would plead their cause as His own, and as if He were injured in their person.
Joel Capítulo 3 3 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
3. cast lots for my people--that is, divided among themselves My people as their captives by lot. Compare as to the distribution of captives by lot
(Ob 11; Na 3:10).
given a boy for . . . harlot--Instead of paying a harlot for her prostitution in money, they gave her a Jewish captive boy as a slave.
girl for wine--So valueless did they regard a Jewish girl that they would sell her for a draught of wine.
Joel Capítulo 3 4 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
4. what have ye to do with me--Ye have no connection with Me (that is, with My people: God identifying Himself with Israel); I (that is, My people) have given you no cause of quarrel, why then do ye trouble Me (that is, My people)? (Compare the same phrase,
Jos 22:24; Jud 11:12; 2Sa 16:10; Mt 8:29).
Tyre . . . Zidon . . . Palestine--
(Am 1:6, 9).
if ye recompense me--If ye injure Me (My people), in revenge for fancied wrongs
(Eze 25:15-17),
I will requite you in your own coin swiftly and speedily.
Joel Capítulo 3 5 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
5. my silver . . . my gold--that is, the gold and silver of My people. The Philistines and Arabians had carried off all the treasures of King Jehoram's house
(2Ch 21:16, 17).
Compare also
1Ki 15:18; 2Ki 12:18; 14:14,
for the spoiling of the treasures of the temple and the king's palace in Judah by Syria. It was customary among the heathen to hang up in the idol temples some of the spoils of war as presents to their gods.
Joel Capítulo 3 6 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
6. Grecians--literally, "Javanites," that is, the Ionians, a Greek colony on the coast of Asia Minor who were the first Greeks known to the Jews. The Greeks themselves, however, in their original descent came from Javan
(Ge 10:2, 4).
Probably the germ of Greek civilization in part came through the Jewish slaves imported into Greece from Phœnicia by traffickers.
Eze 27:13
mentions Javan and Tyre as trading in the persons of men.
far from their border--far from Judea; so that the captive Jews were cut off from all hope of return.
Joel Capítulo 3 7 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
7. raise them--that is, I will rouse them. Neither sea nor distance will prevent My bringing them back. Alexander, and his successors, restored to liberty many Jews in bondage in Greece [JOSEPHUS, Antiquities, 13.5; Wars of the Jews, 3.9,2].
Joel Capítulo 3 8 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
8. sell them to . . . Sabeans--The Persian Artaxerxes Mnemon and Darius Ochus, and chiefly the Greek Alexander, reduced the Phœnician and Philistine powers. Thirty thousand Tyrians after the capture of Tyre by the last conqueror, and multitudes of Philistines on the taking of Gaza, were sold as slaves. The Jews are here said to do that which the God of Judah does in vindication of their wrong, namely, sell the Phœnicians who sold them, to a people "far off," as was Greece, whither the Jews had been sold. The Sabeans at the most remote extremity of Arabia Felix are referred to (compare
Jer 6:20; Mt 12:42).
Joe 3:1-21.
GOD'S VENGEANCE ON ISRAEL'S FOES IN THE VALLEY OF JEHOSHAPHAT. HIS BLESSING ON THE CHURCH.
1. bring again the captivity--that is, reverse it. The Jews restrict this to the return from Babylon. Christians refer it to the coming of Christ. But the prophet comprises the whole redemption, beginning from the return out of Babylon, then continued from the first advent of Christ down to the last day (His second advent), when God will restore His Church to perfect felicity [CALVIN].
