Matthew Poole and continuators on Judges 17:2

2 And he said unto his mother, The eleven hundred shekels of silver that were taken from thee, about which thou cursedst , and spakest of also in mine ears, behold, the silver is with me, I took it . And his mother said, Blessed be thou of the LORD , my son.

i. e. Didst Curse the Person who had taken them away, and that in my hearing, as it follows.

The fear of thy Curse makes me acknowledge mine Offence, and beg thy Pardon.

I willingly consent to, and beg from God the removal of the Curse, and a Blessing instead of it. Be thou free from my Curse, because thou hast so honestly restored it.
