Contextual Overview

⁹ The warriors of Ephraim, though armed with bows, turned their backs and fled on the day of battle. ¹⁰ They did not keep God's covenant and refused to live by his instructions. ¹¹ They forgot what he had done— the great wonders he had shown them, ¹² the miracles he did for their ancestors on the plain of Zoan in the land of Egypt. ¹³ For he divided the sea and led them through, making the water stand up like walls! ¹⁴ In the daytime he led them by a cloud, and all night by a pillar of fire. ¹⁵ He split open the rocks in the wilderness to give them water, as from a gushing spring. ¹⁶ He made streams pour from the rock, making the waters flow down like a river! ¹⁷ Yet they kept on sinning against him, rebelling against the Most High in the desert. ¹⁸ They stubbornly tested God in their hearts, demanding the foods they craved.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Because they believed not in God,.... That he was able to give them bread, and provide flesh for them, or bring them through the wilderness to Canaan's land, as he had promised. God, and he only, is the object of faith, and he is to be believed in at all times, and for all things temporal and spiritual; and nothing is more displeasing to him than unbelief; for as faith gives glory to him, unbelief reflects dishonour upon him; faith sets its seal to him as true, but unbelief makes him a liar; and what is more provoking to man than to have his veracity called in question, and to be counted a liar? in short, as faith has salvation annexed to it, unbelief has damnation, and to whom did the Lord swear that they should not enter into his rest but to them that believed not? so great an evil is unbelief, and is the sin which "easily beset" c the Israelites, as appears from the context; see Hebrews 3:12

and trusted not in his salvation; which he promised them, and bid them stand still and see, Exodus 14:13, and of which they had had some proofs and instances in leading them through the Red sea, and thus far guiding them through the wilderness, and providing for them; and therefore had reason and encouragement to trust in the Lord, that he would yet be with them, and save them, and complete the mercy promised unto them.

c ευπεριστατον, which Suidas, in voce ενπερισ interprets a foolish thing; and it is thought by his learned editor Kusterus, in ibid. to allude to foolish persons, who stand round about a mountebank or juggler, gazing at his tricks with pleasure and admiration, being insnared by them.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Because they believed not in God - They did not believe in his power, or in his promises.

And trusted not in his salvation - In his power and his willingness to save. They had had abundant evidence of that power, but they still doubted his ability to save them, notwithstanding all that he had done for them.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 78:22. They believed not in God — After all the miracles they had seen, they were not convinced that there was a Supreme Being! and, consequently, they did not trust in his salvation - did not expect the glorious rest which he had promised them. Their descendants in the present day are precisely in this state. Multitudes of them disbelieve the Divine origin of their law, and have given up all hopes of a Messiah.
