Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Corinthians 10:5

5 But with many of them God was not well pleased : for they were overthrown in the wilderness .

These many were no less than that whole generation, which were at that time twenty years old and upward, according to the threatning, Num. 14.28, 29. of the accomplishment of which we read, Num. 26.64, 65.

as an instance of Gods being displeased with them, he giveth their falling in the Wilderness It is very possible, that many of these were the objects of Gods eternal and special love, and eternally saved, notwithstanding their joyning with worser men, in their rebellion and murmuring; but that signal judgment of God upon them, was enough to prove, that their being baptized into Moses, in the Cloud, and in the Sea, and being made partakers of those great priviledges of eating spiritual meat, and drinking spiritual drink, typifying Christ, did not set them out of the danger of Gods judgments, which is the use the Apostle maketh of it.
